In my use case there is a remote shop that already has grid tied solar, and a whole house generator in the shop connected through a breaker in the same service panel as the existing solar. The remote shop electrical line runs from the main breaker panel in the main house. I specifically asked about tying that line from the shop in to the solark in the house via the gen input. I was told it would work to input power from the ac coupled existing solar or the backup generator if it was running. The gen input on the solark would NOT provide power to the shop.
Just to be clear, did the Sol-Ark rep tell you that the 15K would somehow make its own determination to NOT provide power to the shop based on some sort of electrical sensing of your configuration, or did they tell you that you should not configure the gen input as a smart load output because it would create a hazardous condition (like maybe if the whole house generator in the shop kicks on, and some time later the 15K in your house decides to send some load out the gen input which will be fed back into the whole house generator)?
