Wrenches, A quick review, please, as I'm sure I'm forgetting something here:
Who makes inverters for grid-tied use with battery backup, that can also support a generator as an integral part of the mix? As best I can tell: Outback does not, as it has only one input, so external switching hardware and reprogramming is required. Xantrex XW will, and is set up to do so, but requires a GSM module for automatic operation. SMA will, but requires use of at minimum one Sunny Boy and one Sunny Island, and the AC-coupled setup is fairly complex. Neither Magnum nor Apollo has GT capability, although each works with a generator. What have I left out, and what am I mistaken about here, please?
