Max,

What happens to the heat generated by the 3 Sunny Boys all in that closet?
Are you blowing air over their heat sinks? Is there a remote chance that the
additional air conditioning required to offset the heat being introduced by
the inverters will neutralize a measurable amount of your solar system, or
not?

Having done some work in the windfarms in the area, I've often wondered at
the amount of energy it takes to keep a conventionally built stick house
habitable in the 120 degree Palm Spring Summer. I bet that the golf course
operators could use a megawatt or so to help pay their pumping costs for
draining the valley aquifers! ;-)

Matt (where it only reaches 106!)
