    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">At some point customers buying the
      Walmart 3C (thanks Bob'O) inverters might be better off than those
      poor bastards that spent much more on a TR or Apollo.   At least
      the cheapos either work or they don't.  (unfused alligator clip
      install anyone?) <br>
      Overall this trend bodes very badly for those of us in the off
      grid business trying to fend off the army of bad installers and
      cheap chinese crap to demonstrate that PV systems really can be
      reliable.  What's left?<br>
      There's Outback that seems to be slipping into corporate malaise
      or Magnum, which is ok, but not as reliable as old Trace, and
      definitely buggy in the generator charging department......<br>
      Exeltech, the Maserati of sine wave inverters with perfect
      waveform, but expensive and rather limited in surge capability or
      battery charging..... and did I Ever tell the story of changing
      out special order 35 amp glass fuses (4 in parallel) with a
      surgeon's forceps in the field......because the customer
      accidentally plugged in a coffee maker into an inverter rated at
      1100 watts?<br>
      I still have customers going 17 years on Trace SW4024s....  If
      someone was still making those I'd be all over it.  Slap in a
      computer USB interface, and call it modern.  They had adequate
      voltage regulation and sinewave, good surge, a great charging
      interface,  and were reliable enough to have built the entire PV
      industry up around.<br>
      I'd say if it were not for Trace back then, that we'd all be
      selling vacuum cleaners now.  (and I'm not joking)<br>

                    <div>In my opinion, based upon personal experience,
                      Apollo is not a company of high integrity, and I
                      would not encourage use of their products. I have
                      kept my mouth shut for too long.<br>
                      <br>
                      About three years ago, following a conversation
                      with CEO John Pfeifer at Solar 2009 in Anaheim, I
                      was sent a production 3224 inverter/disconnect
                      package to use in my own home, with the
                      understanding that if I liked it I'd use my bully
                      pulpit to spread the word and if I didn't I'd keep
                      my communication private with them - standard
                      stuff. Their inverter was advertised as being
                      configurable as either 120/240 or straight 120. I
                      requested straight 120 (to replicate what I had,
                      and because many off grid homes were set up this
                      way). I received a split-phase unit; when I
                      pointed this out, I was sent instructions on how
                      to do the internal wiring changes for straight
                      120. (First red flag: while advertised as either,
                      this may have been the first one tried this way.)
                      Upon boot-up, the inverter worked but could not
                      charge from a generator. Eventually, working with
                      tech support we determined that engineering had
                      put the hall-effect sensing transducer on the
                      neutral, rather than the hot. Once this was
                      corrected, it still didn't charge correctly, and
                      they sent a replacement unit. I used this for
                      about a year, and then the inverter's fan failed
                      in an "always on" mode; I learned that this isn't
                      a field repairable failure, but needed the unit
                      returned to the factory. They sent a replacement:
                      wouldn't charge. They sent a second replacement:
                      wouldn't charge either, but the symptoms were
                      different. Ultimately, the Sales Manager at
                      Apollo, who had been aware of all of this, had
                      moved west to do the same work at Magnum. He
                      offered me a Magnum MS4024AE with MMP at a
                      one-time try-it-out price; I removed the Apollo
                      system, put in the Magnum, hooked up the same
                      generator, and all has worked well since then.<br>
                      <br>
                      On 1/5/2012 I wrote this synopsis to the head of
                      Apollo's tech support:<br>
                      <blockquote>Herb,<br>
                        As we have discussed, I have given up on Apollo
                        equipment. When the fan control circuit on my
                        Apollo 3224 inverter (the second, and in use for
                        a bit over a year) failed in an "always on at
                        full speed" mode, you sent a refurbished
                        replacement, as this failure is not field
                        repairable. The replacement unit arrived a week
                        and a half ago, and would not charge. The
                        replacement for the replacement arrived on
                        Thursday (2nd day air) and also would not charge
                        - different technical issue, same net effect.<br>
                        <br>
                        There remain several fundamental issues with the
                        Apollo inverter that prevent it from being
                        marketable, in my opinion, along with numerous
                        minor deficiencies. <br>
                        1. In my application, with the unit installed
                        indoors, when charging at full capacity from a
                        generator, after about one to two hours the unit
                        shuts down from overheating, even with the fan
                        at full speed. The problem is that the entire
                        inverter shuts down, rather than just the
                        charger. <br>
                        2. As we have discussed previously, the inverter
                        is incapable of equalizing from my generator, as
                        it leaves EQ mode long before it has completed a
                        programmed cycle.<br>
                        3. The unit appears to be overly sensitive to
                        loads with poor power factor; when our
                        Electrolux vacuum cleaner is turned on, either
                        of two computers (one a Mac, the other
                        Windows-based) crashes consistently.<br>
                        <br>
                        And numerous minor issues and annoyances:<br>
                        4. Changing any setting requires connection to a
                        computer, and more computer literacy than some
                        customers would have, as the process is not
                        user-friendly.<br>
                        5. The fan's continuous periodic surge is
                        annoying.<br>
                        6. The units are not designed to allow field
                        service, so many problems require replacement of
                        the inverter.<br>
                        <br>
                        There are other issues, but this is sufficient
                        as to define the product as clearly not up to
                        the standards of current products on the market.</blockquote>
                      Meanwhile, early on when the problems appeared to
                      be getting resolved, I had recommended to a
                      long-time customer needing a major upgrade (that
                      required a shift from 1996-era SW4024 to a 48V
                      system) that we use Apollo equipment. As these
                      ongoing problems had not yet developed, he
                      accepted my recommendation. His Apollo system used
                      a 4048 inverter, with disconnect enclosure and two
                      T80 charge controllers. This unit was set up as
                      120/240, so we weren't repeating the same issues I
                      had had. I have forgotten many of the specifics,
                      but after numerous callbacks (and a very sharp and
                      involved homeowner) we ultimately pulled the
                      entire system out at our expense and put in a
                      Magnum MS4448PAE, E-Panel and two FM60s and all of
                      the problems went away.<br>
                      <br>
                      I cautioned John Pfeifer that this was a purchased
                      system for a customer, and I had not made the same
                      confidentiality agreement with it. He asked me not
                      to publicly air our experiences, and assured me
                      they would make everything right. <br>
                      <br>
                      On 8/11/11 I wrote him:<br>
                      <blockquote><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"
                          color="black"><span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt">John,<br>
                            We have completed removal of the Apollo
                            equipment. The [X] system is back up and in
                            full operation. We selected a Magnum
                            MS44448PAE inverter, mounted on a Midnite
                            Solar E-Panel, with dual Outback FM60 charge
                            controllers. This system package is is the
                            closest available to what made up the Apollo
                            package. I have attached before and after
                            photos of the swapout, which was completed
                            on Wednesday 8/3/11. <br>
                            <br>
                            I will be sending you billing by separate
                            email. I will describe here how I have
                            chosen to bill you, that represents the most
                            fair and ethical judgments I can determine.
                            First, I put together a package using
                            competitors' equipment that most closely
                            matched your package. For instance, I did
                            not include the generator start option, as I
                            had returned to you the one we didn't use
                            that was part of your package. Also, I did
                            not include any of the materials related to
                            online monitoring, as you had not charged me
                            for the communications gateway or the ASNET
                            kit. During the swapout, I instructed [my
                            technicians] to record separately that time
                            not directly attributed to warranty work, as
                            that will be billed directly to [X] (you
                            will see this as a line credit on the
                            invoice).<br>
                            <br>
                            All components were priced at our actual
                            cost, with no markup, as we had already made
                            our legitimate components profit when we
                            sold the hardware to <font size="3">[X]</font>.
                            Likewise, the materials used to swap out the
                            systems were estimated based on our costs,
                            rather than on retail prices. We added
                            actual shipping costs, and I have estimated
                            the freight to return the Apollo items to
                            you based on the actual charges for the
                            original items sent by you to us. In a
                            similar manner I discounted our travel
                            mileage to represent our estimate of actual
                            costs to us to operate our large service
                            truck on a per-mile basis.<br>
                            <br>
                            On labor, however, I elected to bill for
                            both the swapout labor and all of our
                            warranty service and travel labor at our
                            normal retail rates. This is because all of
                            the work to attempt to solve the many
                            problems with the Apollo equipment, to
                            communicate about the problems with you and
                            your staff and with [X], and ultimately to
                            replace the equipment, represent hours that
                            would have been available for other jobs,
                            had this ongoing effort not interfered, and
                            thus may be justly considered billable hours
                            at retail rates. Indeed, labor makes up the
                            majority of the bill. All of our dedicated
                            labor is documented, and I will send hard
                            copies of these records by mail. I have
                            quite the record of emails back and forth
                            with yourself, the Apollo engineers, and [X]
                            as we attempted to solve problem after
                            problem with this equipment. I did not
                            charge for some of our personal
                            conversations about this issue, or for the
                            (extensive) time collating records and
                            preparing this settlement invoice.<br>
                            <br>
                            The total invoice amount is $8,791.79.
                            Please send payment in full to us, such that
                            I may return the removed hardware to you and
                            this entire matter may be put behind us.<br>
                            Thank you,<br>

                      We received one $1,000 payment a month later and
                      nothing since then. We've written off the
                      approximately $5,600 still owed us. We have a
                      bunch of Apollo hardware here that we don't want
                      and can't sell.. We finally recently used some of
                      it for a trailer/portable system.<br>
                      <br>
                      David Katz's suggestion of an Apollo replacement
                      for a TR served as the trigger for me to finally
                      post our experiences here. Had Apollo kept its
                      agreement, you'd not be reading this and Apollo
                      would not have to deal with the effects of my
                      posting my experiences, if any. While their
                      failure to reimburse us for our troubles is the
                      main reason for this post, I'll repeat that the
                      equipment itself is not up to the standards of the
                      industry in my experience, and I'd be cautious
                      about using it in installations. <br>

Ray,

I've got a customer that has the same problem with a dual TR inverter system. When we first complained, Xantrex promised they were working on a fix. That never materialized and now the TR is out of production. It's a lousy product and customer service has been the same. A few months ago, I was asked to participate in a survey regarding Xantrex products and service. My responses must have got someone's attention because I got a follow-up call about the survey. There never has been a follow-up to correct this customer's problem inverter.

                            <pre>Hi Folks:

I just finished up another ugly rewire project for a customer that had another"installer" put in a Xantrex TR inverter.
We fixed numerous wiring issues, including neutral bonded to ground in 7 different places!
The issue we're having now though, is that the TR inverter output voltage fluctuates when running CF lighting, and the refrigerator.
You can literally see the lights cycling brighter and dimmer, and hear the compressor on the fridge running up and down in frequency. Xantrex/ Schneider Tech support said that:
A) The TR doesn't do well with CF lighting, and that we should switch to all incandescent........ hmmmm.
B)  We should set the search watts to zero (which I already did)
C) We need to increase the loads on the TR, as it doesn't regulate output voltage and frequency very well at lower loads........ 2nd big hmmmmm.

I knew there was a reason I quit installing Xantrex inverters about 5 years ago, but I couldn't recall the details.  Now its all coming back to my feeble, aging brain.  So aside from switching out the inverter , (which I just installed on a beautiful Midnite E-Panel) does anybody have any cures for our ills?  How would LED lighting behave?  Should I throw a capacitor across the output? or perhaps I should just retire early and sail around the Caribbean? (I can afford a canoe/ no sail......)

As always, thanks in advance for this wonderful technical (and emotional) support group,
