AEI GC1000 inverter [RE-wrenches]

[David Blittersdorf]

I second Len's comments. We have 1200 watts (peak) going into one 
GC1000 and 900 watts into the second. Because of temperature derates we 
can usually see 80% of peak rated in the summer. 

I always oversize the PV due to temperature derating and our northern 
latitude here in Vermont.
