<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE>Hiya Jeff,<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.
