you are going to have issues if your PV systems output is higher then your demand as it's not going to have any load, the grid is acting as a load, back feeding a small inverter as a load is going to do damage, not sure how fast it will let the magic smoke out of the small inverter but it will happen, or fuses will blow, either way it will shut down.
