I have a 33 panel 3-branch system w/Enphase Microinverters. It is a Grid
Tied system. I also have a fixed unit 17kw generator. When the grid is
down - the gen set starts automatically but it apparently will not power
the Enphase units. How can I rectify this so that my panels will work -
especially if the grid and my generator are off line. Since I have 3
distinct branches - does that mean I can opt to  power some or all of
the panels? Thanks.

Hi Robert,

You can accomplish this feat, but it requires AC coupling. You can read more on it in our article here.

If you want to take your system to the next step we are here to help.
