[RE-wrenches] Anybody use the Texas Oncor eTrack IA portal? Why can't I add an Enphase 5P battery?

[Jason Szumlanski]

Don't get too excited about the 4th Gen 10C batteries. Unless you can take
advantage of the Meter Collar with your utility, there is nothing
objectively better about it. It isn't more powerful, faster, cheaper,
easier, or prettier. In fact, it juts out from the side wall of a garage
like an upper cabinet. They went the wrong direction with this product in
my opinion. We will not sell it - sticking with the 5P.

Sorry for hijacking the thread. And thanks for mentioning Oncor. I need to
read up on that. Looks interesting.
