You are right. Normally I would not even consider a generator of
this size. My constant thinking outside the box took me down this
rabbit trail. I'm back.<br>

Gen support would be ideal but this inverter setup will be
a quad pack of Magnum 4024PAE (120/240 split; 16kW). Their
New MSH inverter is single phase only and can not be
stacked. <br>
<br>
While disabling load(s) is the antithesis of the desired
outcome, I'll review this possibility further. <br>
<br>
Using a separate charger could work but it would need to
be about 200A @ 32V which would add quite a bit of cost
and be hard to sell since the Magnum inverters already
have 4 high quality charges included. <br>
<br>
A larger generator might be necessary if the customer
won't agree to load shedding. Their plans are to expand
the loads over time, operate a business, install a hot
tube and more. Of course I have pushed the concept that
conservation is paramount. The PV array and inverters are
being oversized now for the future growth. <br>
<br>
My ideal solution...Since Magnum inverters monitor the AC
input and control it based on quality of power, it seems
to me that there could be a setting for disconnecting the
AC input if loads exceed a setpoint. Change in control
software would be great. <br>
Thank you, <br>
Larry <br>
