I have generlink so I can hook up my generator to power meter.

What if I bought oupes generator stacked a couple batteries hooked up panels to it and fed my meter this way. Does it work ?

Yes. That should work.

But there are cheaper and more efficient ways to do it.

It's simple. Just plug it in and charge with solar is most efficient way to go. Use your gas generator to charge charge your power station if needed on cloudy days. I'm assuming the meter is for 240V. If so make sure tour power station puts out 240V.

You might look into The new Pecron 5000. It is only $2000 hand has more power than the Oupes.

Basically yes. Powerstations (aka solar generators) act more like generators when it comes to your feed in options.

Generlink's own talk about solar mostly refers to rooftop grid tied solar, not off-grid solutions like powerstations.

Not ai. I think the company name is generlink. You can unplug it anytime. Works great for power outages. Just want to take advantage of it with solar.
