[RE-wrenches] Induction Cooktops Off-Grid

[Jerry Shafer]

Hey Wrenches, Jason,
I actually have off grid customers with induction, uses much less energy
and  with outback have had no issues, on whole home backed up loads with
solark, again no issues, I can't say how much it is used in an outage but
it does work.
Fun times
