Inverters for GT with Batteries [RE-wrenches]

[Graham Owen]

Allan,

I have roof mounts installed (during re-roofing) on four homes in So
Cal, most of which were done well over a year ago.  I am also waiting
and seeking reliable battery based grid-tie inverters.  One of these
customers goal is "to be prepared for a terrible emergency and prolonged
loss of grid power".  I explain to these customers that grid-tied and
stand alone solar power are sound technologies, but combining both is
not reliable and efficient, yet.  I have been considering installing 48
V arrays with the new STXR's to get the rebate money flowing and later
swap out the inverter for battery-based units, which I believe will most
likely be low voltage.(?)

BTW, the CEC recently moved an additional $30 mil into the Emerging
Renewables Program account, should keep new reservations going at least
until next March.

Good luck,

Graham
