I would go with something that has been around some. You talked about Solark, I have had no issues with any of their inverters and my latest install was today connected to a fortress. Of course time will tell on anything we use, Maybe franklin has made it known what is inside but for me I will not use my customers as unknowing guinea pigs, I test products myself and see what survives.</div><div class="">Jerry</div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 1:35 PM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank" class="">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="">Does anyone know if Franklin supports their AC-coupled battery solution in a completely off-grid scenario (no grid present)?</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="">I need to install a demonstration system with ~40kWh capacity to run loads in an outdoor off-grid facility.
