the design advisory team said 'make it big'. We generally go with external bypass assemblies for configurations more than 2 inverters, using a more conventional manual transfer switch.

Sunny Island line, for example, which has no BOS at all. With some intelligent design and a few tips and tricks, the Radian can make a very nice install.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

that is actually safe and easy to work on without many hrs of re-design work, I don't see any advantages to this product line.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
