If an additional power source is introduced at the distribution level it is then possible for power to flow back into the grid. This is a potentially undesired scenario, so much so that some entities enacted laws to regulate/control this scenario. There are also regulations in some places that restricts off-grid scenarios. The present disclosure is directed to embodiments that can operate with the grid, or islanded, with a range of grid load from 0-100%. 10% grid load is described as a model for abiding by legal interconnection/tax requirements. At the interconnection point/points there is typically protection and or control technology such as fuses in a circuit-breaker that limit current to a particular load or loads. A solution to this scenario, using split load configuration according to embodiments of the present disclosure, allows for both distributed generation and no power flow back into the grid.
