outdoor mounting. [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas --- OutBack Power]

Jay - 

Yes, the OutBack PS1 grid-tie with back-up power system is still 
available and is listed in the new product guide and pricelists.  We 
still also offer the original PSR enclosure as well (but we are not 
promoting it as we are working on a replacement for it).  Both are 
approved for outdoor mounting (type 3R / Rainproof) - but the PSR 
requires an additional kit to be installed. 

We do not currently offer a PS1 system without the MX60 intalled in it - 
We have had a number of dealer/installers buy the complete PS1 and strip 
out the MX60 and HUB4 for other projects - that is the only solution we 
can suggest right now.  

As far as other options - I have seen inverters mounted in standard 
electrical enclosures (venting must be considered) as well as plywood or 
commercially available "tool" type sheds - its really an issue of what 
the local inspectors (if there is one) is comfortable with. There is a 
nice temperature rise estimation tech note in the hoffman catalog and 
website which I use to predict temps or determine air flow required.

The new FLEXware FW250 is ideal for an application such as installing 
the inverter inside of another enclosure as the combined size of the 
inverter and its minimum overcurrent protection is as small as possible 
- making the required size of an outdoor enclosure smaller.  

You might check with Circle AW in Oregon on outdoor enclosures - I used 
to often order them with vents built in back in the old APT days for 
mounting power centers outdoors.  They even had some enclosures which 
did not have full backs on them that could be placed over mounted / 
wired equipment - not sure if they were UL listed however.
