Non wrenches [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

Joel,

The CEC has some more firm numbers on the installations now. Of the more
than 2,500 installations in the CEC program, over 1,000 are SW systems.

Bill.

1) I will start a separate discussion group when postings from Japanese and
German
PV installers become overwhelming. Has anyone on this list ever talked or
written to
a Japanese or German PV installer?
2) Many postings here are about code issues and system design that directly
relate
to grid-tie PV.
3) Estimated U.S. grid-tie PV in 2001 is 10 MW with 80% in California. 15 MW
of
grid-tie PV is projected for the entire U.S. for 2002.
4) The percentage of California non-battery PV systems has increased, but I
don't
have specific numbers. Between the March 20, 1998 California PV rebate
program start
through May 29, 2001, 1,905 residential and commercial PV systems received
rebates.
30% were owner-installed. 70% were contractor installed. I estimate 70% of
the
owner-installed systems and definitely more than 10% of the contractor
installed
systems have SW4024 or SW4048 inverters.
