null and void laughs:   "OH MY GOD!!! Some call PG&E and let them know!!! I've been tied to their grid for about 3 years!!!."

Would this be in the same way that you were getting 800 watts out of a 2m^2 solar array???

What are you trying to say? Are you saying you are tied to the public utility grid with an AEI GC-1000? When your PV array is making more power than you can use, is your excess (and only your excess) put out onto the utility power grid for other to use? When you use more power than the PV array can supply, does the utility makes up the difference (and only the difference)? If your answer is no to any of these then you need to re-think your last reply.

Are you sure you're not confusing switching between PV array power and utility grid power and the synchronous transfer of power between PV array and utility grid?

Not this time. The 2 M2 was just a bonehead mistake, something I surmise you've never done.
