Bergey XL1- Re: 24VDC to 48VDC [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Hi John,

Bergey supposedly is working on the 48 volt version.  Can the customer wait?

I have only  done few small wind installations and I am looking at putting
in a XL1 on my next job.  Does anyone have one installed yet?  Are you happy
with it?

It seems like a heck of a good price.  Less than $3000 for 1 kW machine with
a controller (that can control up to 700 watts of solar as well ) and a
44'(?) tower.  And its all UPS able.
