[RE-wrenches] Fronius IG Plus line

Have there been any updates or improvements on the "time outs" that 
Bill Brooks reported with the Fronius inverters?   From what I recall 
of the post, the periods where the inverters were not producing 
resulted in overall efficiencies of around 85%.  Since learning of 
this issue, I've avoided specifying these units.

Thanks,

Drake
