This just came up for us recently. I learned this, surprisingly,
from a Customer Generation tech at our local utility. We are
installing a GTWB system with two SI5048s and two SB5000s. The CG
tech spoke with SMA tech support about the possibility of the SIs
selling back to the utility as well as the SBs. He learned that
there is a software patch that can be installed in the SIs that
will allow them to do this, but that SMA will only allow the patch
to be installed upon receiving written permission from the
utility. This was sufficient for our utility to consider our
system to be a 10kW interconnected system.<br>
<br>
This is all I know that may help you; I heard nothing about "3
seconds". You might want to explore this further with SMA tech
support.<br>
