will bring us physically closer to the majority of our domestic customers. Additionally, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport also allows us easier access to our customers around the globe. Our new Phoenix location will also help us recruit top talent to our already
impressive team and in designing and testing new renewable energy products such as our lithium-ion battery which we displayed at Intersolar North America in February and expect to be available in Fall 2020. In addition to our headquarters, already located
in our Phoenix office are our customer training center, technical support personnel, and our warranty service center.

<p class="MsoNormal">Please be aware that the files that are stored in the Mates are not able to be overwritten, and this leads to corrupted data among other mystery issues. Contact Kris Stone, a former OB employee, he has the ability to erase the old files.
I no longer travel w/o updated M3s and the firmware to up date. IF I have an issue, I will copy settings in the older Mate and leave my new one in place until I get it addressed by Kris.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What I did see (last month) was an Optics system (no AGS) shut down the web gateway, saying the firmware in the charge controllers (old MX60s) and the Flexnet DC need to be updated, but all are too old, the firmware can't be updated as
far as I know. It also lost the Port #s for the 2 MX60s and FlexNet DC and needs them re-entered. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oddly, the battery SOC is the only data showing in the Optics Portal, but it's saying 67% SOC, which (I hope!) is incorrect, as the site has had full sun, hardly a cloud in the sky, for over 3 days now, and the system is designed to charge
from 50% SOC to full on one sunny day.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Mate 3S firmware isn't flagged for an update, but there is a newer version out. I plan to update the Mate 3S, re-enter the Port assignments and hope that fixes the problem. Because the system is 200 miles away and I have no way now
of knowing if it's even charging right now.<o:p></o:p></p>
