Hi there gang,

I have heard of a system on the Galapagos successfully running Sunnyboys 
interactive with a diesel mains.

Has anyone tried this with a Trace SW ??

I am in the design phase of reducing the diesel time on an Island 
complex by 50%, the present power drain is about 300 Kw/day.  There are 
two diesel generators rated at 80 and 40 kW.  At present the generators 
run 10 hours/day and I want to reduce that to 5 hours.

I am looking at various renewable options and would like to avoid a 
large battery bank.  One way is to have the inverters in sell mode when 
the generator is running to reduce the fuel consumption.

I am looking at wind and hydro power options.

I can dump the excess generation into a 20 cubic metre thermal store 
when the generator is off.

So...   Has anyone successfully done a 'sellback' to a diesel with a 
Trace in this way ???

Mnay Thanks
