Kilowatt Hour Meter with interface [RE-wrenches]

[Jerry Caldwell]

one thing i've noticed about the outback inverters is
that they take up a lot of space for the amount of
power they can process.  4 fx2000's take up as much
space as 2 5548's and provide 3kw less.  this is a
disadvantage for medium to large residential systems.

other than that, i'm totally pleased with outback's
products and look forward to seeing more from them.
