[RE-wrenches] Fronius in the game?

[Jason Szumlanski]

I don't know the answer to your question specifically, but in Florida we
are light years away from Smart Grid requirements. The latest net metering
law debacle here carries us through the end of the decade. I don't think
smart grid is a battle that anyone is going to fight here anytime soon, so
there are plenty of sales opportunities for non-compliant inverter brands.

What I can tell you is that I am going to diagnose a faulty Fronius IG Plus
right now and customer support is answering the phone reasonably fast and
is offering warranty support after some diagnostics. The brand is not
popular around here, but I'm still seeing them pop up here and there.
