<p><a href="http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/08/solar-battery-backup-under-attack-in-california?cmpid=SolarNL-2013-08-08" target="_blank">http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/08/solar-battery-backup-under-attack-in-california?cmpid=SolarNL-2013-08-08</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It sounds like the utility is rejecting the system because the batteries have the capability of feeding back to the grid. I'm not familiar enough with the Outback system to know how this would work. We are installing a pretty good amount of Sunny Island based battery backups these days but they don't have the capability of sending battery power to the grid.</p>
