John,

Strange that it's so difficult to find any solid info on the Trillium 
using Google....the Trillium link I did find leads to a Cat Scan 
site...hmmmmmm.

I can answer the Windy Boy question quite easily though....

The Windy Boy and Sunny Boy are one and the same unit but the Windy Boy 
input programming has been modified to better work with the wider 
voltage swings/ spikes unique to wind turbines.

I had to pitch this case to the NY State PSC when I installed the first 
Windy Boy unit in New York. The PSC needed to have proof that the 2 
units were the same on the utility side (they are), otherwise SMA would 
have had to put the Windy Boy through the UL process. With the help of 
John Berdner, we won that round....

Good luck with that Trillium!
