Jay, I have had good luck with Fortress eVaults with Radians. 3 eVault 18.4’s would do the trick. My only off grid customer running generator free in Vermont winters has 3 vaults and a Radian. John On Mon, May 20, 2024 at 7:22 PM jay via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org>

I don’t know who’s bigger or has more money. EG4 is a manufacturer Signature is a distributor Both are in the same town Some one on this site said EG4 said they bought OB. EG 4 makes more sense as they would have lots of Chinese manufacturing contacts. If OB is coming out with new products, I’d

So here is the scoop, I got it that outback is moving to Dallas and will still be a premium product, and yes the optics shut down had something to do with the sale. Everyone hold on as they say they have new products at SPI this fall. Keep your fingers crossed and let's all wait patiently. Fun

What specific UL listing(s) are they requiring? Around these parts it's been UL 9540 for all AHJs, and some requiring that even for lead-acid, despite the IFC exceptions and so few listed products (the IRC now seems to require UL 9540 even if the system is not grid-interconnected). UL 9540A is not

Friends: Optics is still down as of Monday morning. Outback does not answer telephone calls. Options on their automated attendant are Tech Support and Sales. Either selection directs you to sales but no one picks up. I left several messages. I called Zonna Energy to ask. They told me
