Hello everyone. I just wanted to share a scenario that I came across yesterday. After a routine failover test of a 22kW Generac generator failed, I popped-off the transfer switch cover and found the recent PV installer tapped the generator feed for the PV system. Unless I'm totally missing something, the tap should be at the utility feed.
Am I missing something here, or is this simply an incorrect install?
Note: I'm the homeowner, but not a novice when it comes to electrical systems. I was a licensed merchant marine engineer, so I'm familiar with systems up to 440V 3-phase.
