[RE-wrenches] Midnite solar Charge controllers

[Ray Walters]

Volatile memory was a pet peeve of mine with the Trace SW inverters.  I 
quit even trying to program them, because they would always end up 
getting reset anyway.  However, I've tested this feature on the Midnite 
Classics and I could not get them to drop programming.  I used the 
computer app, set all sorts of stuff like fan relay start parameters and 
then powered down after. It worked everytime I powered it back up.  Of 
course I can't guarantee this, because weird things like lightning and 
time have a mind of their own, but I was encouraged before I sent this 
out the door for another installer to take over.
