The IG has an integrated disconnect section, but it the electronics are
not removable from the disconnect. Therefore it is not safe to
replace an IG unless it is dark or you can tarp the modules.<br><br>
The Plus series has two chassis that mate. You can turn of the DC
and remove the electronics for repair, which we have had to do all too
often.<br><br>
We had an IG burst into flames and scared the heck out of the widow who
was home alone. She called the fire department and then called
us. Sure we get replacement inverters for the asking, but we get
tired of asking.<br><br>

Kistopher. 1 question: I thought that the IG<br>
also came with the integrated AC/DC disco as well as the IG Plus. I
know<br>
the IG doesn't come with the string fusing. Am I missing something
here?<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
