Have these modules worked for you in battery based systems?<br><br>

You are correct that the sunpower modules are positively grounded.
You are<br>
also correct that sunpower only deals with dedicated
"dealers". That means<br>
that if you are not one of their dealers you cannot get their
panels. It is<br>
my understanding that sunpower is always looking for new dealers, so you
may<br>
want to check in with them. As far as architectural review
committees and<br>
such, we have never had a problem using SPR modules in the areas
where<br>
review is an issue. The positive ground really does not affect
aanything.<br>
Instead of your negative wire being the grounded (white) conductor it
is<br>
your positive conductor that is grounded. This means you are
switching the<br>
negative instead of the positive in the DC disco. Sunpower sells
packaged<br>
systems, so they provide positive ground inverters from different<br>
manufacturers.<br><br>
Evergreen now has a black framed module, and I believe Sharp does
too. I<br>
hope this helps, any other questions feel free to contact me.
