I know a guy in Colombia who connects his Magnatek Aurora inverter to
a genset when the grid is down. Seems to work most of the time.
He's got some sort of chinese turbine and chinese controller that
dumps power off the back-up generator when necessary.
Isn't there some way to detect reverse power and add a dump load?
Seems a shame to kill the renewable input when the grid is down.
