sw quiry [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

The information about the Vanner consuming 2 amps at idle may be true, but
what is the power factor? The SW consumes 2 amps as well. Both machines are
running less than 0.2 power factor so the power consumption is less than 50
watts.

The latest numbers I remember from Trace are that they have built about
35,000 SW inverters. About 1500 are grid tied (maybe more counting guerilla
installs)--about 5%--what's the point?

Bill.
