Outback parallel with inverter generator [RE-wrenches]

[Darryl Thayer]

Thanks Kent
I take it the AC2 of the Outback provides the sync
signal to the windyboy.  But when the outback needs to
charge the battery it needs to be connect to AC1
correct?  I seem to be missing something? 

Is one outback connected AC2 and the other connected
AC1?  

Thanks but the inverter generator does not follow the
sync signal of the outback (I don't think)?.

Thanks your project is very interesting.
