[RE-wrenches] grid tie sync with big stiff genny?

[Drake Chamberlin]

Hi Mark,

That looks like a great installation.  Is the max that can be fed 
into a generator mini grid 15%?

Since the system was able to keep the UL 1741 settings, that means 
this setup could feed both a utility grid and a generator mini grid, 
using the system transfer switch.
