I kept a couple of the AES 1000s for a while and then finally gave them to our local scrap metal purveyor.

But as time goes by I spend very little time demoing this big an off-grid system, and I wish I had an AES-1000 to covert my seldom-used off-grid system into a revenue producing grid tied system.
