Carl and All,<br>><br>> This spring we had the opportunity to
install a 5000-TLUS inverter for a<br>> client, as a pre-release
version. The inverter was commissioned on April<br>> 1st and has
produced about 2.7 MWhs thus far. As mentioned, the secure<br>>
power supply (SPS) requires a dedicated outlet with a switch to control
its<br>> operation. For this installation we installed the SPS in
the mechanical<br>> room, which is about 50 ft from where the
inverter is located. We chose the<br>> mechanical room because it is
centrally located within the floor plan of the<br>> home, making it
easily accessible to plug in emergency type loads, i.e. cell<br>>
phone chargers, laptops, lamps, etc.. It is also very close to the
fridge,<br>> which we plugged in with a short extension cord and
tested its operation in<br>> the "stand-alone" mode (which is what
the inverter display when the grid is<br>> down and the SPS in
activated). The inverter had no problem powering the<br>> fridge.
The inverter display showed about 900 watts bypassed from the solar<br>>
array to the SPS when the fridge cycled on....I must say it was a very
cool<br>> feeling seeing this happen.<br>><br>> As far as the
inverter itself goes, I only have a few minor complaints.<br>> Like
the old SMA 1800U and 2500U, the conduit knockouts on the bottom of the<br>>
inverter are at a slight angle, which means you must put a slight bend
in<br>> your conduit. This is obviously a bit annoying and I can
only guess it has<br>> something to do with the plug and play nature
of non-U.S. installation<br>> techniques. The TLUS inverters are
also lacking Bluetooth communication,<br>> unlike their HFUS
counterparts. I think this is a nice feature of the HFUS<br>>
inverters and wish it was integrated into the TL's.<br>><br>> With
no real difference in cost compared to traditional grid-direct<br>>
inverters, I see no reason not to specify the TL, especially for someone
who<br>> has a desire for "limited" power supply during a grid
outage. They can<br>> always add a Sunny Island later on, if a more
robust backup system is<br>> needed.<br>><br>> I hope this
helps.<br>><br>> Orion Thornton<br>> Onsite Energy<br>>
