[RE-wrenches] OB VFX3524M vs regular VFX

[Ray]

Honestly we see pretty steady failures of the old VFX series too.  5 to 
10 years, then rebuilds. The rebuild boards do not seem to be as robust 
either, we just had one fail after a little over a year.  The failure 
rate definitely seems to correspond to grid tie systems with either 
large arrays or large loads in the backup.
