History of Off-grid Inverter Companies

Posted at MidNite Solar is the story of off-grid inverter manufacturers in the Northwest U.S.  The story is short, interesting and if you live in a home that is off-grid or has battery backup then you likely have a piece of inverter equipment (Outback, Trace, Xantrex, Schneider) that had its start thanks to these folks.
