Mr Wiz, that's the beauty of Sola - automatic. It maintains safe voltage with input ranging from 90 to 140.
What I can't figure out is what kind of surge/spike suppressor should be placed upstream of it. It does need surge/spike protector on the input, but doesn't need EMS like Surge Guard, Progressive Industries or Hughes because they cut-off at 102V and 132V (those are Surge Guard numbers, I don't see any numbers for PI or a similar Hughes device).
Though, PI and SG have portable surge-only protectors, without voltage protection.
Hughes portable Wireless Watchdog allows to set voltage limits to get "notified". Though, via Bluetooth app, which I'm not thrilled about since this would require keeping smartphone On at all times - otherwise it defeats the purpose. It doesn't say that it actually disconnects at those V values - a bit weird.
