We are installing 25kW of PV on a service with an existing backup generator (Eaton 30KW) and auto transfer switch. Because of the remote location of the generator and transfer switch, we can not easily connect on the grid-side of the transfer switch as we usually do (without cutting a very long trench.) So we're looking for a way to lock out the solar during generator use. And then, ideally, reconnect the solar automatically when the grid is restored.
Is there an off-the-shelf product available at this point to accomplish this? I see a thread on here <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/7643522e54e5bd30057d2e139c7b93d1c488b655?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mail-archive.com%2Fre-wrenches%40lists.re-wrenches.org%2Fmsg23906.html&userId=6273276&signature=c4db635fbd2d1225> from a couple years ago that recommended the Generac SMM for this type of scenario. Any current thoughts on this approach? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Nik Ponzio Building Energy 1570 South Brownell Road Williston, VT 05495 direct: 802-318-7003 npon...@buildingenergyus.com http://www.BuildingEnergyVT.com <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/058e994a3bba9674653a69dd2a6976e0914d2761?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.BuildingEnergyVT.com&userId=6273276&signature=8b5247886585b42b> "Building Solutions for a Sustainable Future"
