Jay, I haven't used it but the surge load capacities are really pathetic. It also doesn't support stacking so if you need more backup power, then at least for now, you're out of luck. (I don't know if they have plans to add stacking support or not.) I would say that it is really only for grid-tied systems (no off-grid) with low to moderately low backup needs.
As to your specific questions... No, it does not require any external interface. It can be programmed directly from the integrated screen and it connects directly to the internet without any external devices. I believe you still need an external router if you want to connect it to wi-fi. I don't think it even could be used with a Mate 3 (or Mate 3s). I'm not quite sure on the Rapid Shut Down. I am quite sure that they have a compatible Rapid Shut Down solution that will suffice for about 1 month and 7 days but after 2019................................. I'm not quite sure what we'll do... If anyone else can answer this question, that would be awesome! -Kienan Maxfield Solar maxfieldso...@hotmail.com<mailto:maxfieldso...@hotmail.com> (801) 477-0-SUN (477-0786) (801) 631-5584 (Cell) ________________________________ From: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org> on behalf of jay <jay.pe...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 23, 2018 4:30 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] outback skybox HI All, Anyone install a Skybox yet? And if you have comments? My questions are: Does it have module level shut down capabilities? Does it need or can it use the mate 3s or does it use some other device? thx jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org<http://www.members.re-wrenches.org>
