Info please - Multi-Flo model FTB 0.6 Alarm? [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Hi Bill,

I have never heard of one.  Since you are the new "pro" perhaps you can make
a suggestion to him to "upgrade" to better equipment.  Maybe a good chance
to check out the new Outback stuff.  I'm not sure what other problems you
saw but I have always found these situations to be full of poor if not just
plain dangerous wiring and sub standard circuit protection equipment.

You mention grid interconnection.  Is this install in MO?  I am working with
several people on grid interconnection and really need some examples of grid
interconnection in MO.

Travis
