My question is: If the home power is transferred from utility to generator power, will the backfed PV see the generator as grid power and sync up and produce? This is a nice Honda Generator so the power should be fairly clean. Any experiences are appreciated.<BR><BR>Take Care,<BR><BR><BR>Eric Thomas<BR>Solar Epiphany LLC<BR>(206) 919-3014<BR><A href="http://www.solarepiphany.com/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>www.solarepiphany.com</A><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
