I just recently installed a 18Kpv to replace a hodge-podge of Siganeer invertors and Schneider charge controllers/SCP/AGS in an off-grid setup for my father. In general this has been a huge success, finally having remote (any) visibility into how the system is performing. One area that looks like it could be a bit better is the generator support/features-
1. It would be nice to have an exercise option
2. When the generator is started due to low battery and low/no PV it charges the batteries just fine, but once it hits the target battery voltage it just shuts off without ramping down the charge rate. This causes a very brief outage, enough to cause a computer or TV to turn off. Just a guess on my part, but if the system were to taper off on the charge rate as the battery voltage approaches the target it may reduce the issue.
