I've got one customer that has one, they're pricey, but seem well made. They had quite a few problems and are going to a regular AC generator setup and decent inverter/ charger. The off grid solar biz has tried DC gen sets several times, and it has never worked out. The theoretical gain in efficiency is not worth the loss in reliability.

I have a customer that runs a bunch of them and seems to like them.

I sold one to another customer and Polar Power was pretty rude to both my employee and I. I haven't had the occasion to deal with them since, so I can't comment if that was an isolated incident or not.

I will note that their control has a bunch of communications interfaces on it. But they weren't willing to support anything besides the ethernet interface ($$$ extra) and their software.
