For the time being, I have my wind turbine system set up so that I float my battery bank and use wind power to primarily heat water. I chose that route in part for cost reasons, simplicity sake, and to avoid the red tape of grid tie. However, in the future I plan to add solar to my system and if I generate enough power, then the water heating idea may not be the best way to utilize all the power. Some day, I might consider a grid tie inverter like one of the Outback units.
Since I am not familiar with grid tie, the way I'd envision it is that I would then set my grid tie inverter to "sell" and feed back into the grid. Is there anything to be aware of that might cause issues with the Classic MPPT extracting maximum power from my wind turbine, floating my battery bank and feeding most wind power back to the grid with an Outback inverter? Is there a better way of doing this? Is there any problem with grid tie on only 1 leg of a 120/240 panel?
Because of my grid tie inexperience, I thought I'd ask and see if there would be some complications that I'm not aware of now.
For now, I plan to keep it simple with my water heating diversion set up. In the future, I might consider grid tie.

That is the simplest way to grid tie most turbines. There is no issue using a single Outback on a 120/240 panel.
OK, thanks. I'm glad that it's that straight forward. When I approach something new which I don't have experience with, then I'm always wondering if there might be something big that I'm overlooking.
So, the single Outback would only feed one 120v leg of the panel when grid tied?
