Batteryless inverter recommendation [RE-wrenches]

Joel,
You ask a good question, which I cannot speak to.
Remember however that when you use the term "SunnyBoy" you are
simultaneously referring to a product line that has both passive and active
cooling products. If by "SunnyBoy" you refer only to the passively cooled
products, I think that they would have a clear advantage over other actively
cooled products in corrosive environments. Frankly, I haven't looked at the
actively cooled SunnyBoys to see if the forced air runs directly over the
electrics or over a heat sink that keeps the electronics sealed. I'm sure
others could comment on this.
I am aware of a system in Arcata, Ca. (City Hall?) where they are running
five or six different inverters side by side. This would be pretty close to
a coast side installation, although the waves don't actually lap up against
the building; the coast is about a mile away.
Most of my installation have been within the San Francisco Bay Area, but
corrosion is a non-issue.

Hello Mark,
I have heard good things about the Fronius, but how does the enclosure hold
up to corrosive coastal air as compared to the Sunny Boy?
