Same page with you Jay, as usual...

Does the battery system go to absorb with solar still even if it is
cloudy?  Maybe a bad battery?   Tis the season!
Can the user go thru the set-points and make sure nothing has changed? Gen
sets can do weird surges that can corrupt settings.

If he has to leave, shut down the inverter? Is that an option? It is only
a week right.
