Re: (ET) E-T for house backup - 36V inverters



Hi Rick
I use a Redi-Line "sine wave" generator with my ET to
power my gas furnace blower if the local grid goes
down.
Years ago ET supplied Redi-Line generators and
Redi-Line still makes a 36vdc model.  
Their URL is http://www.rediline.com/
Thanks,
