[RE-wrenches] Fronius IG4000 problem

[Jennifer Bryce]

Hi Mark

I would go with a Magnatec Aurora 6Kw inverter, it will seamlessly  
couple to the Outbacks. That is the way we do battery charging with  
the Eoltec 6Kw turbines, as currently we do not have a battery  
charging controller.
We then use Morningstar Tristars to divert the excess.

Thanks

Logan
