[RE-wrenches] No more Mate3-SL upgrades

[Tyrone Houck]

Oh OK I totally get it. I guess I just never realized there was ever an
offer to change the hardware out to an internet capable upgrade or
replacement. Thank you for clarifying. I'm really appreciating remote
monitoring options these days whether Midnite, Outback(OpticsRe),Solaredge,
or Sol-Ark. It's great to be able to check on remote sites and even adjust
settings from the phone or computer.
