300 Watt Grid Tied Inverter [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Bill,

The 300 watt inverter was designed to go with that panel if memory serves
correct.  And they are no longer in production ( the inverter that is).  there
is a new model coming out sometime?  But you are correct on the low voltage AEI
inverter, probably the only choice.
