[RE-wrenches] Radian design limitation - am I missing something?

[Ray Walters]

I second WIlliam's sentiment about having all equipment communicate 
together, but Outback just ain't there.  I know Midnite's stuff will 
communicate with the universal MODBUS language, and is not that silly 
proprietary stuff that Outback does.  I don't see any reason not to use 
Midnite Classic lites and go to 4  modules in series.  The customer will 
also appreciate the computer interface on MyMidnite, much more than 
suffering through the "MATE" screen.  Let the Outbacks sell 
independently, and I think for 2012, that's as good as it gets.
The idea of AC coupling as  others noted is also a decent option, but 
when I last looked, it is much more expensive.
Charge controllers are much cheaper per watt than inverters for a 48 vdc 
battery.
