Outback Good [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

I agree Mark, the VFX's are *wonderful* power processing hubs for OFF 
GRID applications. The gigantic elephant in the room however, is the 
inability to support generators (like the now 14 year old SW technology 
did) in GRID TIED systems.

While I appreciate OB greatly for providing us with an efficient, grid 
tieable alternative to the SW (without the GTI kludge), the inability to 
support a generator on a system designed for utility backup seems like 
the industry took a couple of steps backwards. That is the main 
criticism I have and hear from others about Outback's inverter design.
