Matching Outback inverers on powerboard? [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Ron:

I'm not sure I'm following.  If a PS2 system now exists in the field, it 
exists and you have no choice in the mounting plate size.  If it does not 
exist and you wish to buy a pre-wired system, you have no choice but to buy 
a PS2 system.  I imagine you can buy one with one or two inverters.  If you 
want to roll your own (my recommendation), I'd strongly suggest a PS4 
mounting plate, unless there are space constraints.  Make sense?

I'd avoid saving a few bucks by purchasing a pre-assembled PS2 with one 
inverter and then adding another.  This is a very indirect approach.  If 
there are warranty issues with the original assembled unit, it could be 
clouded by your upgrade.  I try to avoid turning into a pretzel to save a 
few dollars.  My policy:  Let's get what we need to do the job right and 
avoid complications.  The complications cut into my personal time.
