[RE-wrenches] Sol-ark without batteries

[david quattro]

Hi all, I only wanted to respond to this:
“Also, don’t expect to connect a generator via Sol Ark for pass through
during and outage”
Why not? In my experience SolArk work fine for generator backup, especially
the 15K model which has 200A pass through.
