Re: [RE-wrenches] Generator backfeeding enphase?

Just to clarify;

"generator...to latch onto any grid tied inverter"

The grid tie inverter is the device that will latch onto a given AC source, not the other way around.

I guess that am missing something..... I have yet to see a generator that is available to most home owners that will meet the required AC voltage & Hzs to latch onto any grid tied inverter.

Does anyone think that there is no issue with having enphase potentially backfeeding a backup generator? We almost always will tie in upstream of a generator transfer switch, but a competitor is telling clients with an enphase system there is no concern. Am I missing something?
