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
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).

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

Hello All,
We have several customers adding generators to their homes on which we have
previously installed PV systems.
Historically most generators didn't produce a clean enough 60Hz sinewave to get
the inverters to feed back.
However, with the generator technology improving and the introduc
