can it be used to tie solar panel back into grid? DIY plug and play?

Sorry. This must be used in iff grid system.We can offer on grid system, but we are not sure a diy solar system can sell electric power to government also? And its economic?

No. You want a Grid Tie Inverter, search for that keyword. This only converts DC to PURE SINE A/C current. Pure Sine is the ONLY way to power sensitive electrnics like microwaves, TV, computer, etc.. Pretty much everything made with technology developed after the 70's. A/C motors can run on modified but they run cleaner and cooler on Pure Sine. Pure Sine is what you get from the mains. Modified sine is 1970's tech and good for things from that era, unless you like to buy whatever you plug in again and again and again and simply LOVE the sound of a constant buzz from whatever your using. IMO, Pure Sine or don't bother. But you want Grid Tie Plug and Play. I have them and they last and work well as long as the power is on, this one however is for when the power is OFF and you have batteries but need to run A/C appliances.

There is a specil 3prong connector to the generator -green, white and red - it is the only connector to use and to solar panel you can cut and splice anything to it. You would have to buy a panel fron them in order to have a connector on it like theirs

May make sure you use disconnect box, plug inverter into walk - then connect panels. I think there is a fuse if you take off back cover. I am new to this and mine works great. Watch youtube videos - they helped me out. Also Missouri solar and wind has a lot of good videos on how to hook up

I am no electrical expert, but your question involves how to integrate a low voltage DC system (this solar system) with the high voltage AC system of the grid. I'm sure it can be done, so see what Google has to say. This system has worked perfectly for our low demand lighting in an off the grid camp, I have been extremely happy with it for this purpose.

YUP, its a solar panel. you would need a 24v controller capable to hook up to 130w so its under 10 amps per.

If that solar panel can charge via USB @ at the minimum amperage, I don't see why not.

That will work just fine. Just make sure your solar controller is rated for at least 10 amps and preferably 15 amps just to be safe.

This is kit is for off grid that you need battery and inverter. We also have grid tie kit listed in our store. Thanks for your interest with Renogy.

Yes. You just need to ensure that you have a cable to connect from the USB port on the solar panel to your device.

Yes, but it will require that you create your own island, so that the Enphase will detect the power, and start. You then have to deal with dumping the load that is not used. Do a Google search. there is whitepaper on how to do this with Magnum inverter, battery, and Enphase.. Magnum is also working on such an inverter that will deal with the dump load, but at the end of the day, this is a "grid tie" inverter, so any power that is not used has to go someplace, and if you can't feed it back to the grid, you need to get rid off it ... There is a gentlemen on Youtube that has complemented his solar with Enphase, and Magnum inverter for emergencies, and he is using halogen lamps, and heat guns to dump the load ..... So, it can be done, but it requires a lot of design consideration, and extra expenses that have no real ROI for being off the grid.

If you mean- can you use it to keep the starting battery on a generator charged, then yes. Otherwise, no- you would destroy the circuitry in the panel and possibly the generator, too.

Yes but not with what comes in the box. You would need to get a grid tie in converter.

Here is a guy who found one and made his own adapter: http://irongarment.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/goal-zero-nomad-27-solar-panel-to-energizer-x/

That would not work. Solar panels produce DC electricity and to be able to "back feed" you would need to transform the DC electricity into AC. This is usually done with a DC to AC inverter. We recommend contacting your local power authority about these things because different areas have different regulations about sending power back through the grid.Also, in order to sell electricity back you would need to contact a local installer/electrician to make the connections to the utility grid and to provide you with a permit for the installations and connections.

No. You would need a 12v battery and use the solar panel to recharge your battery

I do not use with a grid tie inverter. However, I do not see why not. The panel is just a generator which generate a power. All the solar panels are doing the same function. I believe you should look at your grid tie inverter requirement and use the correct power panel. Thanks.

This device is specifically designed to be used to tie solar cells into the grid(your power system) with the minimum of issues.You plug your solar inverter into any outlet of your home and up to two of the 136 watt flexible solar cells on the DC side of the unit ...vowla you have an inexpensive very automated solar system that is easy to add wattage to. I have not had time to install mine yet. Good luck!
