I have a client that currently has an XW= running on a set of 2 volt Surrettes that are failing. I'd like to switch him out to an AIO/PF16 system, but want to give him the option of keeping the XW+ (which is paired with 2 Outback150vDC Charge Controllers). The mixed brand Inverter-Charge Controller setup gives me some pause if keeping that, but if necessary, I just want to hear success stories if they are out there.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Thanks,</div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Howie Michaelson</div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Sun Catcher</div><br></div></div></div></div>
