On working with Fronius:

"It’s nice to have local Canadian Fronius tech support from people who REALLY know their product and know us by name. Francine and Harsha go above and beyond what we typically see from inverter tech support staff. The hands-on FSP classroom training they provide is also very effective and engaging."
