Question about integrating solar panels with genset
I had a 9kv solar system installed recently. I have a preexisting 30kw water cooled generator with an auto switch. If it maters, the inverter is Smart Edge.
My concern is that the solar is tied into the mains at the gen switch on by taps into the utility side. What happens if utility goes out, but panels are producing? Do i have a brownout if load exceeds solar output as the switch still sees power? Or am I missing something?
Couldn't get a straight answer from the solar installers, just that "its ok'".
