Marco, and All,
I'm not sure that's going to fly in OR, but we'll 
see. I just attended the Xantrex on-line training 
course on the GT3.0. They had a number of photos 
of existing installations, mostly in CA.  Not ONE 
of them would have passed in OR due to the fact 
that there was no NEC required signing as to Voc, 
Vnom, Inom, and Isc. Generally, that stuff would 
go on the big Square D disco. In the absence of 
one, it needs to go on the inverter itself down 
by the incorporated disco. So much for the 
"pleasing appearance and smooth lines" that X is 
proud of. The more I see of approved CA 
installations, the more scared I get. 
Unfortunately, it's a more or less true statement 
that as CA goes, so goes most of the country. 
Unless you guys start policing yourselves AND 
bring your inspectors up to speed on stuff like 
that, we could be looking at another black eye 
åla the '80s. Please do us ALL a favor and get 
your s**t together.
Best, bob-O
