Grid-Tie Inverters Question

Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes larger inverters (15-20KW) that can be tied into using a generator to product power for net metering and doesn't require solar panel or any loads to run the system. Ive searched for days and all I come up with is systems that require solar panels to do the net metering. I'm not trying to power any loads, just want to do the net metering. I cant believe that there are no commercially available grid-tie inverters that simply take either AC or DC and send it back to the grid via net metering.

    When you synchronize utility supply power (grid) with a solar inverter in a grid-tied system, the reason why the load is primarily supplied from the solar inverter first—even though the utility system is much larger and stronger

    It's going to cost you a lot more in fuel than you're ever going to get back from the power company

    2.1 Kw Suntech 175 mono, Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 ( 15 years old  but brand new out of sealed factory box Jan. 2015), Bogart Tri-metric,  460 Ah. 24 volt LiFePo4 battery bank. Plenty of Baja Sea of Cortez sunshine.
