        Power One (now ABB) had their Aurora GT inverter for wind that I
        believe worked down<br>
        to around 48 volts.  It was (is ?) an MPPT wind inverter kind of
        like the SMA Windy Boy was<br>
        so would  raise its input voltage as the wind blows faster.<br>
        <br>
        Now that ABB has taken over Power One, I can't seem to find this
        one on their web site<br>
        but I probably just haven't looked long and hard enough.<br>
        <br>
        I hope it's still available.  It did a pretty good job as I
