[RE-wrenches] Enphase warranties

[Nick Soleil]

Hi Drake:
    I just spoke with Enphase customer service about interconnecting the Enphase 
to a battery inverters back up load center, and they will not void the warranty 
for this.  They only void the warranty for physically altering the inverters, 
like changing the connector types.  (OOPS, I am guilty of that one.)

 This is for an on grid system that would AC couple when the grid goes down.  
Would that still void the warranty?

Drake - fyi: you will void the warranty on the Enphase inverters.
