You would never actually deliver power to the grid. If there's a power outage, your grid-tied inverter will also shut down. | |

| Nov 30, 2017 at 19:08 | comment | added | Dave Tweed | So why is it important that when the inverter output exceeds the load requirements, you don't allow power to flow to the rest of the house? You can't have it both ways. | |
| Nov 30, 2017 at 19:06 | comment | added | Paul | Well the thing is, 90% of the time the inverter will not meet the load requirements of the circuit and I'd like to supplement from the grid. What if I take grid power from a UPS? Would that prevent leaking back out to the rest of a house/grid?d | |
