Enphase does generator support as well. Fortunately, I do not need that, so
maybe it opens up my options. It's good to know that Franklin supports
off-grid. I will reach out to them to confirm.

I asked my Enphase rep to run this up the chain of command to see if they
would support this installation given that it's kind of high profile and a
fantastic marketing opportunity.
