Thanks Mac and all,
I agree that putting the PV in a panel supported by the genset is not
desirable. These are genset retrofits where the customers are hiring generator
companies. I'm looking to avoid issues before they happen. Fortunately all
customers (so far) are looking into or have purcha
We do these all the time. Relocation of the pv input from the load center
to the utility side of the generator transfer switch has always been our
solution.

We will not connect a grid tie inverter down stream of a gen-set, you don't
want the inverter attempting to connect, when it comes right down to it,
Why would you want to it would be a very small micro grid that if and when
the demand is less then the inverter output would be then the gen-set

On a similar note Array Technology use to make the AZ 125 which was a
totally reliable tracker on a 6 inch pole about 125 sqft of solar. I have
some from 15 years that have never needed anything but a squirt of grease.

Hi Wayne,
As Tump suggested, getting the solar out of the load center served by the
generator is a great way to go. You can also do a relay that opens the
solar circuit in the event the generator is operating.
Another option that I've used is Generac's Smart Management Module (SMM).
These are de
2 suggestions; the first is installing the GT inverter output on the utility
side of the T switch
( Manu’s recommended spot)
. The second is have the generator tech set the frequency a bit lower then 59.5
Hz. (57-58 Hz.) which is usually the lower spot where the GT inverters will
latch on and b
