[RE-wrenches] Pro Harvest Inverters (Formerly HI-Q)

[Brian Mehalic]

My experience has been much like Blake's, with the difference being they
were all in the Northeast, both roof and ground mounts, all 480 V.  That
was a couple of years back, and I know some smart folks have been working
on this product in the meantime.
