Carl,
As of 1998, the president of Vanner was John W. Stahura, 614 771-2718 X258.  Maybe starting at the top would help.

Subject: Feedback wanted by AES on inverter designs [RE-wrenches]

Michael and wrenches: I did a personal inquiry with Vanner,Advanced Energy Systems and Advanced Energy Inc, concerning what was available or would be available soon in the way of grid-intertie inverters with battery backup.I also asked if they were interested in any installer feedback( actually didnt mention that part to AE Inc) and after two attempts to Vanner and still no reply, moved on to AES and received an immediate reply from Mark Hensley who is the US representative(an actual employee) for AES, and they are very willing to take input from US installers and the timing is good as they are in design phases for some new units for the american market. Currently they produce a 5kva,10,15 20 and I believe 25 unit that does 120/240 volts but the only catch is that they are not yet final on the UL listing. The other thing is the current units are 120vdc input( 48vdc due next year). I also found out something thats been a source of confusion ; AES is not connected with Advanced Energy Inc. who makes the GC1000 - Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail Personal Address - only $35 a year!
