Adding Solar to My Wind System

FYI. I found the answer to this question on the Outback Inverter forum. Thanks.
Hello,
I currently have a Southwest Windpower Skystream 240 V grid-tied system. I would like to add solar. Looking at appendix A fig 11 in the Skystream manual(on SWWP website), I see a diagram for grid-connecting the Skystream (with battery charging) using an Outback GVFX and 48V battery bank. If this diagram is correct, I believe I could also connect some solar panels (4 Kyrocera KC-175GTs for a start, adding more later) using an MX-60 charge controller.

My question is regarding how the Outback inverter handles the wind generator, since the Skystream appears to be wired to the output of the inverter. How does that charge the batteries? I searched for a diagram of the Outback, with no luck. Thanks, Mike
