<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Wrenches,</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">A quick review, please, as I'm sure I'm forgetting something here:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Who makes inverters for grid-tied use with battery backup, that can also support a generator as an integral part of the mix?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">As best I can tell:</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Outback does not, as it has only one input, so external switching hardware and reprogramming is required.</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Xantrex XW will, and is set up to do so, but requires a GSM module for automatic operation.</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">SMA will, but requires use of at minimum one Sunny Boy and one Sunny Island, and the AC-coupled setup is fairly complex.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Neither Magnum nor Apollo has GT capability, although each works with a generator.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">What have I left out, and what am I mistaken about here, please?</FONT>
