Hi All,
I'm in the process of getting quotes for a 14 kW grid tie and find myself leaning towards purchasing a Solarworld 315 panel /Solaredge system for about 2.85/watt and have found this forum to be a great resource
Our area is subject to several power outages (3-30 hours) each year (averaged over the last 20 years). Consequently I've tied in a 10kW generator coupled via a transfer switch. It's a manual process for me to turn the gasoline generator on, plug it in to the house, flip the transfer switch, and then turn specific breakers on (in a sub-panel).
My assumption (will review and confirm these concerns with my installer) is that when running the generator it would not negatively affect the solar system (in collection mode or not) - is this correct? Another concern I have is when the generator is running and the electric service comes back on - are there any issues that may arise or that I should be concerned about? I'm sure there are many gurus out there -but I'm not sure so I thought to ask to be sure.
Again I will vet these concerns with the installer (not yet selected) who is a reputable and experience solar grid tie installer. Any feedback or comments are greatly appreciated.
