[RE-wrenches] Back-up generator/inverter shut-down relay

[Matthew Sherald]

Generac offers a Smart Management Module.

I used one of these at a grid-tie job where the customer was simultaneously
having a Generac unit installed.  The Generac installer turned me on to the
device and it seemed to do the trick.  It was a similar situation where the
PV and GT inverter were at an outbuilding far removed from the main panel
at the house.
