[RE-wrenches] 25 kw inverter

Tue Nov 18 07:36:04 PST 2008

Hi eric,
For systems in the 25 kW range we have been specing Solectria PVI 13 kW.
These are robust inverters that can handle being installed outdoors if need
be.  They come in 120/208 and 480 VAC configurations.  What I really like
about these is that they have disconnects mounted on the side of the
inverter.  These disconnects ship hard wired.  This means that all you have
to do is land the DC conductors in the DC disconnect, and route the AC
conductors from the AC disco to your kWh meter and then to the grid.

Alternatively we have also speced multiple PVP three phase inverters (4600
watt 120/208 output), using a load center to combine the AC output.  PV
powered is local to us here, and they stand behind their products with great
customer service.  Hope this helps.....

Good morning gang. I sure do feel privileged to be in on these excellent
discussions you all have.

Anyway, a few things to pay attention to. If you have any questions, please
contact me off list.

1. You must use the address that you find in the From: or Reply-To: headers
for your message to be accepted by the list. 

In each incoming message there are three headers that have an address that
is similar to the list address. They are Return-Path:, Sender:, and
Errors-To: and they all append "-bounces" to the address. It is for internal
use only, and if you send a message to that address, it will not make it to
the list.

2. You must send mail FROM the address that is subscribed to the list. So,
if you have more than one address, be sure to use the one that is subscribed
as your From address.

3. Try to trim back the quoting on your messages to decrease message size
and increase convenience. Just try to quote the most recent parts and/or the
parts that you are responding to.

4. When we moved the list from Topica last summer, I enabled the ability to
have html and file attachments as an experiment. It seems to be OK, and some
of you like it so I probably will not change back. But please only include
file attachments if you think a lot of Wrenches will appreciate the file
being handed to them. If you think only a few might like the file, it is
better to give list members a choice by putting the file somewhere on the
internet and merely sending the URL and description to the list. Yes, even
in this day and age of high bandwidth, we actually have some members that
are still on painfully slow dialup and semi-slow satellite.

Some of the messages with layers of quoting can be come quite colorful,
can't they?  I hope this drab B&W message has not been too boring.

Peace.

Yes, with a download speed of around 2kB large attachments are a real issue.

No, it is not that I am too stingy to get broadband, the service just does 
not make it to my place, even the sattelite!  Even my phone line is 
multiplexed.

Hey all -

Just wondering what your favoring inverter combo is for a 25 kW job.
Building has 4:12 pitch, 135 deg. az.  We get a significant amount of snow,
as well.  Looking for gear pros & cons.
