Single vs Distributed Inverters? [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

<x-flowed>

Hey David,

I would for sure use either 7 or 8 SMA 6000s or 3 Solectria 13 KW inverters.

Installation ease  and redundancy of multlple inverters beat a single 
large inverter by far in my book!

Hope that helps!

Jeff C.
