Recently moved to a new home that has an existing generator. I am in the process of designing a solar system but it seems the output of the generator is too much for all the inverters I have looked at. It is a generac with an output of 22K.
I don't understand what makes this an issue? Would the generator be putting out full power to charge the batteries or power the inverter? The company I have my quote from tells me that the inverter will not handle that and they were told by the distributor to leave the generator unhooked. Is there some sort of regulator that could be used to lessen the output or some other option other than replacing the generator?
