You can\u2019t add a \u2018Grid Tie Interface\u2019 to just any SW. it has to have the 4.10 firmware, and I think it also had an additional communication port and cable. The more common SWs had 4.01 firmware chipset, which was Trace\u2019s best but wasn\u2019t compatible with the GTI. </div><div dir="ltr">It\u2019s also a nonissue for Rick. If he\u2019s just replacing batteries he doesn\u2019t need to meet later or current Code, as the system is grandfathered.
