Aloha Wrenches:
    I have been surprised how much equipment has been failing in and out of warranty. 
    -  I have recently been put in the unfortunate situation of 
replacing Sunny Boys that have been dying just out of warranty
    -  I just placed the 50th dead BP module into my module graveyard.
    -  I have been replacing SMA and Xantrex inverters left and right 
(three more dead inverters yesterday)
    -  Enphase communication issues.  Recently, it has been taking 20-40 minutes to reach Enphase customer service
    This is getting out of hand and taking too much of our staffs time.    
    Have any of you installed the new GT inverters that just came out?  
They now have a new, larger disconnect enclosure at the bottom of the 
inverter, and have the guts from the Square D HU-361-RB disconnect 
inside, with the disconnect handle coming out of it.  Perhaps Schneider 
may be able to work through the bugs that have plagued the GTs.

maybe Xantrex has fixed it by now?
Unlikely, since I continue to replace several sites a 2nd and in one case three times.
