They told me no problem, for the inverter’s anti-islanding will work if it sees the “generator frequency” and therefore will not try to push PV power to the panel. But isn’t 60 hz, 60hz regardless of origin? There’s got to be more to it than that. I question this because I asked the same to SMA several years ago and they were hard-set against connecting Sunnyboys to a panel with generator backup, so I always would establish the point of interconnection upstream of the generator feed. Comments?
