[RE-wrenches] Trace Power Module Upgrade?

[Ray Walters]

HI All;

Does anyone have any experience with upgrades on a Trace Power Module?  
It basically was a single box with an SW5548 inverter and a C40 inside 
with disconnects, some inside and some outside.  It doesn't seem to be 
code compliant in my book, because several of the disconnects are 
accessible only by removing the cover ,and exposing the user to live 
parts.  Space is also a serious issue, and I was planning on adding a 
new MPPT controller.  The owner wants to relocate all the equipment, so 
it seems a good time to reevaluate the whole system.  I'm tending 
towards scrapping the power module, and reusing the SW inverter with a 
different DC load center.  Option 2: I might use the power module, but 
pull out all the PV wiring and controller to a separate location next to 
it.  3rd option is to start over with a whole new setup: new inverter, 
etc. but that's probably not in the budget.
I'm just looking for others experience and ideas.
Thanks in advance as always,

Ray Walters
