There is absolutely a fit. Our InVerde product with the variable speed and the microgrid and the certs and all that stuff. And then the ultra-low emissions and the certifications, that the smart grid certification is perfect for those applications. The tricky part is, ultimately, we're not a generator company, we're a cogen company. And so we not only have to search for power applications, but we need to make sure we've got a use for that heat that we produce. And so in applications and facilities where they've got a heat load and that heat load can be many things, you could even have these absorber air conditioners be the heat load. But if you're able to utilize the heat, then absolutely, those applications are a good fit for us. Now if you're not going to do it, and you're going to operate our system simply like a stand-alone generator, you can certainly do that. In fact, we've had a couple of projects where we're a good fit for that. But the question is, is how do your economics compete with a typical standby generator set? And so I think we are seeing some niches where, again, the combination of our search microgrid, if we're able to incorporate the solar into our inverter as well that helps. And if there are particular emissions constraints, those are our calling cards as well. Those controllers, that company, that you mentioned that Generac bought, that all is in our green box. All of our controllers in terms of making sure these things are load following, et cetera, are all contained in our box. So that's a long way of saying, Joe, yes, there is a good application for it. It's just, it's a little bit different because you're not, some of these applications don't have a use for the heat, and therefore, making the economics pencil out for our equipment is a little more challenging. But there's still opportunities that we're looking at.
