This happened to a few customers, and they were doing an EQ from the sun without knowing it. This was a while ago, so maybe there has been a firmware revision??</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Jason Lerner</div><div>Waldron Power and Light Co.</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 12, 2015, at 9:47 AM, <a href="mailto:william@millersolar.com">william@millersolar.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Friends:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I understood the generator had to be started and stopped manually.
