Sounds interesting.  A big mutha!  Here's another one to look at 
perhaps.  Does anyone have any recent experience with these Omnion 
products?  


www.omnion.com   In the Products Section


They have a 1000 and 2500 watt residential unit in their mix.  I sold a 
few of their products to Wisconsin Electric Power in years past but 
nothing in recent years.  Oh, my!  I see they are part of S&C Electric 
now.  I used to sell those guys solar modules.  What a scream.

I forgot to shut up didn't I?  Sorry........
