  Hi Joel, A 4024 in sell mode, but I don't know the inverter make I'm
afraid. They had lot's of trouble with brownouts and slow Xfer time as well.
They weren't happy.

  We put it in float a couple years ago and they've been happy ever since.
Actually, they're happy because we also did a Unisolar/GC 1000 system on the
same house, which has been working perfectly for over 3 years. The Trace
acts as a UPS on a sub panel for dedicated loads.

  I should also mention that the Unisolar is on an East/West facing roof!

  Cheers,

  Matt

    Hi Joel,

    Yes. I have a customer that's had this problem since it was installed in
  99. Repeated calls to Trace resulted in - surprise - no change!

    Otherwise it has worked fine.

    Hello Todd,

    Interesting. I've been intentionally switching off grid power on several
    pre-GTI SW4048s with different types of PCs and have never had a
computer
    re-boot from power loss. We have some engineer customers with GTI SW4048
    inverters on the home PV systems who have never had their computers drop
    off. Your report is the first..

    Are other Wrenches experiencing load drop-offs when their SWs in sell
mode
    lose grid power?

    Best regards,
    Joel Davidson
