Hey Bill, They're still small enough that, at least so far, there is no hold music! And we combine ac outputs with an "ac combiner panel" simply a single phase or three phase panel, with each inverter feeding a breaker in that panel and ensuring that we use either a main breaker that can be back fed or a panel with feed through lugs. It is simple and safe and code compliant.
