Outback FX inverters have only ONE AC input. The software (confusingly) 
has menu headings for AC1 & AC2. If there was one wart that Outback FX 
inverters have, it is only one physical AC connection.

I have an occasional grid intertied FX system where the customer wants 
generator backup to the grid _and_ PV system. In these instances the 
only solution is an external AC transfer switch.
