Friends:
I need three FM100 charge controllers but it seems no one has them. It has occurred to me that for not much more than the cost of 3 FM100s I can buy a Fortress Envy 12K inverter and it will have the capability of 3 FM100s plus 12 kW of inverter plus compatibility with the existing Unigy battery bank plus future compatibility with Lithium batteries. The same applies for the Sol-Arc, and the Midnight AIO and probably others. Since my first Radio Shack separate amp and tuner, I have always favored a component approach to systems. With Outback apparently circling the drain or generally being unavailable, I am starting the see the appeal of the new AIO inverters. The AIOs have a wide voltage range on the MPPT inputs making stringing less problematic. I ordered a Sol-Arc 12K for my property to load shift and solve my NEM3 dilemma. With CTs on the service I can run my home on batteries from sun-down to sun-up and avoid being screwed by PG&E. It’s hard keeping up with all of the new technology but we are getting new tools to solve design problems.
