</div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style>I live in a TVA area where there is a Feed In Tariff. Everything that is generated by the PV array feeds into the grid through a Generation Meter that ties-in ahead of the house meter. I have started getting calls from customers who hate having a solar array that does not generate when the grid is down but the sun is shining, but who also want to get the $.12 premium when the grid is connected. We have lots of systems with SMA Sunnyboy inverters, but more with Enphase micro-inverters. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, what you found to be the best solution for this type of installation?</p>
