[QUOTE="binky, post: 353008, member: 490"] you would also need inverter that isn't 'grid tied' becuse otherwise it won't work when mains fails. This may mean having an inverter that is grid tied for normal operation, and non-grid tied for running in grid failure conditions (though this could be achieved with your generator). I would suggest having a look at SMA website, as they manufacture a comprehensive range of inverters for On and Off grid situations. Normally with systems around 30kW, the G59 compliance is built into the inverter rather than utilising a separate G59 relay - it's cheaper! Using a G59 relay allows use of a non-grid tied inverter, but incurrs DNO costs. There is, however, increasing demand for off grid systems, so a quick call to their technical helpline may produce a more cost-effective solution to your problem. NB they have a UK office, but don't be put off if the phone number takes you to Germany, they speak very good English. Please report back any solution they recommend. [/QUOTE]
