Hi Jay;
I saw their new MagnaSine Hybrid with load support. The way the load
support works, sounds like it could work with a GT inverter, look at
this little tid bit from their home page:
"The new MSH models add a "Load Support" feature, which allowsincoming
AC to synchronize with the inverter's output and uses additional power
from the batteries to power loads.
That sounds lie AC coupling; what other AC input source could
synchronize with the magnum's output? However, no where can I find it
actually saying it can be AC coupled though. I looked through the
manuals,etc. Do you happen to have a link to Magnum's AC coupled info
that you mentioned? I'm guessing it was with the older MS series AE
120/240 VAC?
Thanks,

The Outback rep got me some good info, and I'm liking the Radian with the
Remote controlled breaker to control the GT inverter when the grid is out.
I've heard of quite a few problems related to the Sunny Island frequency
controlled system.
My question is can off grid inverters like the Magnum be AC coupled? I'm
trying to get the price down, and still handle the 240 vac input from the GT
inverter.
I penciled out the Radian and I was topping $10k before installation. This
customer is hoping for a solution under $10k, and closer to $5k if possible. I
think an elegant lower cost solution for Grid tie with battery back up is in
order. A Radian Lite?
For backup, it could even be mod sine, as it wouldn't be much worse than
generator power or the average UPS setup.
