[RE-wrenches] Xantrex Vesta Online units

[Ron Young]

So would these be suitable for an off-grid application Bob? Any comments on the reliability? The proposed set is in individual residences on a First Nations reserve and the recipients will have zero technical knowledge for operation of them.

I have just been contacted by a client who has several of these in storage and he wants to put them into use as off-grid inverter systems. The only thing I've been able to find out about them is that they seem to be UPS units. Client has no further info or manuals. I have a pic if anyone needs a look.
