<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p>We did a test installation in

with 28kW of PV and GT5 inverters selling to a 90kW Genny system in a

settings, and
the system has been working smoothly. The PV was basically sized so
that it
would not exceed the lowest mid-day load on the small grid, and there
was
already an automatic dump load in the system to ensure the diesels

Looks like a fun project. I like the separation of cricical,
commercial, and residential loads (especially the UK style
pay-as-you-go metering on the residences.) I know those air-cooled
Deutzes are hard to kill, but this looks like a perfect application for
water-cooled machines feeding a district heat loop.<br>
