[RE-wrenches] Grid Tied Inverter back feed to Generator

[Eric Smiley]

 We were called to repair a system where this happened.
All the micro inverters were fried and so was the generator. It caused a
voltage rise that the monitoring system recorded at 348 V before it went
down, when the PV ran the generator as a motor.
