[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark Technical Question

[drake.chamberlin at redwoodalliance.org]

Hello Jharen,

Members of the RE Wrench list are still hoping for an answer to the 
question of how to program a limit on the AC output of Sol-Ark 
inverters. Can you send an explanation to me, to post on the list, or 
post it yourself if you are able.

Thank you,

Drake
