Installation details [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Graham,

I was to be the California installer for World Water, but somehow got
by-passed for a larger company of some kind. (I assume that's the Locke
connection?) It's actually all right with me, as they are reportedly
involved in "stealing" water from a river in Northern California, for the
purpose of selling it to Southern California. I've got problems with this.
(The parent company of World Water is doing this project.

Their system includes, primarily, an inverter and an in-house designed pump
control and inter-face with utility power. The advantage to this system is
that it will run the pump load with PV and/or utility power, and act as a
net metered inter-connection. The advantage with this design is that it can
run pumps when the grid is down. I don't see why a Sunny Island and SunnyBoy
system wouldn't accomplish the same thing.
John, any thoughts?

These people are very aggressive marketing-wise, and have some very powerful
members on their board. They are very active in the third world in
developing water sources using solar/utility power. I believe that the World
Bank is somehow involved. Something about all of it concerns me a great
deal, which is the growing trend to "privatize" water, especially in
under-developed countries.
