This is the only gripe I have with Outback grid tied inverters...
namely, only one AC input. It is also the ONLY thing the old SW's have
over the OB inverters. It is common for me to do battery back-up, grid
tied systems here. Customers commonly want to add a genny to this
arrangement, which always presents a dilemma.
