I would just add that the reason there is a generator input, is for when wildfire smoke, winter storms, and damage to the solar power system occurs. More solar/storage might not do much good when smoke drops the solar output by 80%.
My business can't use SGIP for obvious reasons.

This might be a little trickier for areas that need air conditioning during a grid outage (or for all electric homes), but one tactic is just to go bigger with the ESS and PV system. I guess what I'm saying is that the value proposition might already be getting better just to skip the generator and go bigger with the storage. Even Generac might be going that route.

They didn't do it when it was Pika, so why would they now that it has an orange label? Crazy. No generator input makes zero sense and even less sense for a generator manufacturer.

It's beyond me that Generac bought them and yet they still don't have a generator input. That's why I could never sign on to the Pika product line. Good luck.
