Solectria Inverters [RE-wrenches]

[David Brearley]

Max,

We used Sharp 170's.  The total system is 13.6 kW.  There are 8 modules per
series string and 10 strings in parallel.  (The Solectria fused combiner box
would not accept all the paralleled strings, so we used a Xantrex PV series
combiner box.)

Max,

We installed a PVI 13kW in the spring.  The inverter has LED status
indicators rather than a LCD display (or equivalent), which required 5% more
diligence on our part for the backend testing and commissioning.  The
integrated AC and DC disconnects are a plus.  Everyone is happy with the
installation.
