[RE-wrenches] Generator and Enphase

[Darryl Thayer]

Yes I have made such a connection to a Honda and Yamaha inverter generators, the 
problem is how does the generator absorb extra power, everyone says it will fail 
the generator control.  Also the warentee problems.  My reason for trying is 
remote cabins with PV, batteries and when in use the system need battery 
charging, when no one around no need ,solar and batteries are fine.

I have a customer with a "30A Mechanically Interlocked Breaker" for their 
generator feed at the main panel. My question is: If the home power is 
transferred from utility to generator power, will the backfed PV see the 
generator as grid power and sync up and produce? This is a nice Honda Generator 
so the power should be fairly clean. Any experiences are appreciated.

Take Care,
