    <p>Wrenches,</p>
    <p>            Earlier post was accidental, incomplete (below). 
      Anyway,  I've since rec'd a response from SMA (Thanks Mike),
      despite my lack of details of this proposed change-out he offered
      some valuable tips.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>            Yes, I was hoping by splitting this array of 30,
      Evergreen 190's into two strings, using 2 of the three MPPT inputs
      in the SMA SB-40 and using the existing wiring which is: "Diesel
      Locomotive Cable" yes, see the picture, leads from the PVs and
      USE-2 for home runs (in conduit), that this would work.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>            A couple times I've taken the gamble of purchasing
      used not-to-old inverters off Ebay but as time goes on I'm feeling
      like my luck so far won't hold out.  Sometimes you can find an old
      inverter that doesn't many KWhrs on it and was mounted inside or
      north side of the house with a cooler climate....It depends on the
      customer and situation.  This seems like a solid way to go but
      would appreciate (+) or (-) feedback, experience.</p>
    <p>            I wish I'd stocked up on SB-40's and 41's before they
      disappeared.<br>

      <p>            We have a customer with older (circa 2008) SMA
        SB5000US that seems to have failed.  Zonna is not an option,
        none in stock. You Love Solar wants $4K+ (with tax,and shipping)
