I understand that if PG&E > goes down it stops functioning, and more or less why this is. If PG&E power fails, your system MUST disconnect from the grid to keep from electrocuting a repairman. The system may be using the power grid as a voltage regulator. If it disconnects while the sun is shining, there might be a voltage surge that could damage operating equipment. Check out <www.smokstak.com>. They have a Solar and Wind Power sub-forum under "Generators & Motors". There isn't much in that section, but there are a lot of people who understand generators. I've seen discussions in other sub-forums about solar systems and people wanting to sell power back to the electric company. Fred
