[RE-wrenches] Fronius USA available 2023 & 2024 ?

Fri Aug 25 08:27:05 PDT 2023

I think Fronius has left the building. The reason I know is they stopped 
sending me AFCI repairs about 2 years ago. There was not any support 
from their installers in remote places like the Sierra range.

I would second Tump on picking a good company with real money and 
products. Below is a new one this fall.
