Grid Tie Inverters with Generator
The reason most people go to a second generator (or a larger generator) is because of the startup amps needed to get the Air/Con compressor turning. Once it's turning a 2000-2400watt generator will us...

I was aware of the victron and similar units but with the prices, they just don't make sense for this purpose.

Dakota: See link above for an example but found many.
Westend: The one in the link at least claims to start down to 10.8V.
Mexicowander: The honda/yamaha generators put out pretty clean power, so I would expect it should be able to match the frequency if it can do it for normal grid power.
Chris Bryant: In my example, there would be a source of power (the battery bank). The problem appears to be that it wouldn't just draw power as needed but it would pull power continously as fast as it can.
Thanks for the feedback. I figured it was too good to be true (500-1000watt inverter for $200-300)
