<br>We've had very good experiences with the XW system. With about 15 installed so far (4024s and 6048s) the only issue we've had was 1 control board that went bad (easily fixed after Xantrex sent the warranty replacement). <br>

<br>
What has been your experience with the XW 4024? Is it a scaled down version of the 48 volt models? Is it reliable?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
