That sounds technically sound. Is it compliant with power company rules? The reason I ask is that I looked into setting up a wind generation business 20 years ago, building windmills in Wyoming and selling back to the power company. The power company required special "blessed" devices between user generation equipment and the grid to protect the grid. This usually took the form of sensing circuitry and a physical relay that could completely isolate the grid from your equipment if necessary.
Doing everything in silicon with MOSFETS and algorithms is definitely technically feasible, but lacks the fail-safe behavior of physical isolation on demand. I'm surprised that they allow this.
