<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Dana,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If the Trace model is SW, it will not
be approved for selling if it was manufactured prior to 2002 (non-GTI model).
If the batteries need to be replaced, the added expense may be considerable
depending on the size of the bank. I guess it depends if the customer really
wants backup. You may want to consider reconfiguring the array in series
and go with a grid interactive inverter, such as the Conext TX2800, which
will work fine with a 1.9kW array (24 in series). Other replies to this
post indicate the array is not easily accessible, which can present it's
own set of issues. I guess it boils down to what the customer wants. You
can always sell the Trace inverter to someone off grid and use the proceeds
toward a new grid-tie inverter. </font>

<br><font size=4 face="Century Gothic">I have a client eat has a 24 - Solarex
SX 80 PV module system that was off grid, Trace inverter, APT Power
panel and an very aged L-16 battery bank. </font>
<br><font size=4 face="Century Gothic">The utility came in and he wants
to go grid tie. It is or was only 960 watt originally. I realize that an
array rewire is in order and it may only be a 1 KW system but he is interested
in getting the equipment upgraded.</font>
<br><font size=4 face="Century Gothic">Has anyone done a grid tie with
such a small array and with modules this old?</font>
<br><font size=4 face="Century Gothic">Any thoughts on installing sealed
batteries and leaving it alone? </font>
