Trace ST problems [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Carl,

Yep sorry to hear about the comments from Trace but business as usual.

The important isssue is that the inverter is approved by the state rebate program here in CA.  I can think of only 1 issue and that is
the new IEEE standards.  I would contact AEI and see what they say about that.  Its the only thing I can think of.  I have one on my
house, approved by PG&E.

AEI can be reached at

Phone: 603-654-9322 Fax: 603-654-9324 email info at advancedenergy.com
http://www.advancedenergy.com/

Let us know whats up.  I can also give you the name of my PG&E guy who was really helpful and pretty informed.

Thanks,
jay
