We were called to repair a system where this happened.
All the micro inverters were fried and so was the generator. It caused a
voltage rise that the monitoring system recorded at 348 V before it went
down, when the PV ran the generator as a motor.

The problem is when Equalize is enabled, the system goes through Bulk and
Absorption just fine. However, when it switches to Equalize it doesn't
actually equalize. What I observed was the voltage actually decreased to
0.5 V below the Absorption Voltage setting.
