Rain Damaged Inverters [RE-wrenches]

[Bob-O Schultze, Electron Connection]

Travis,
I agree with Bob Maynard here. Tell the insurance company that you 
are going to send the inverters back to the factory for evaluation 
and get a commitment that they will pay for your mileage, R/R, the 
shipping and the testing. The Trace repair guys will then give you an 
estimate for repair or tell you that the machines are trash. The 
insurance company and the owner can decide from there. Either way, 
you are off the hook for the repair and get paid for your time.
Good Luck, bob-O
