When the generator is on, a transfer switch has to be present, and that will disconnect the system from the grid. The system shouldn't be feeding power back to the generator, so the control system has to know which power source it's on and behave accordingly. And when switching back from generator to grid, it first needs to adjust the phasing. So a lot more sophistication and expense would be required.
20kwhr/yr seems way too low. I can use that in a month, without A/C.

A kWh is not the same as a kWhr. I went through each bill and I used 22k kWh in the year. My current rate is about $.09kWh.
Are you saying that the panels produce a power that the Home cannot use but the generator does?
