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.
