Subject: More inverter info [RE-wrenches]Wrenches: I was talking with a supplier today that mentioned that SMAof Germany will be starting to import theSunny Boy transformerless grid intertie inverter next month. Its a 240v only output and requires a 20 module string to feed it. Going to the sma-america.com site shot me to SMA of germany which had no US distributor info, but did explain their technology nicely. I'm sure someones probably mentioned it before but I could have been sleeping but what is the latest on the changes in anti-islanding standards that were revamped a few months back( If its not one thing its another ) Is that part of why Trace is revising software again? I understand the PS series is not approved for grid intertie because of the new standards( I didnt even get a chance to hate it and its out of the loop) My same supplier said that his company did a few installs with the ST and had problems with the unit in both cases. As far as AES inverters, I noticed on the California buydown approved inverter list, the
After hearing the feedback from others on the Solarex panels and even the lack of total performance from the poly- crystallines in general, I think I'll stick with the mono-crystalline modules. I know siemens are hard to beat but who else would you guys consider to be in the same class. Id sold a lot of Solec before they stopped making the mono-crystallines and had been to their factory a few times picking up seconds( they always seemed to generate an unusual amount of them) but they are history for now , so who's a good runner up?

[Marco Mangelsdorf] Carl--Give a look-see at the BP 585, their Saturn series with the highest efficiency cells (16%) that you'll find in any commercial module. BP is also coming out with their 5170, essentially two 585s put together. Their 2150 mono is currently available although not yet on the CEC approved list although the test data and UL listing have already been provided to the CEC/Endecon. The 2150 puts out 150 watts. I have some specs on it if you want to receive them. So, how goes the grid-tie market there in S.C.?marco from Hilo
