We've installed about 20 IG/LV series inverters. Some failures
required only replacement of GF cards, most required replacement
inverters. We've had several DOA when new, one was replaced by
Fronius with a rebuild even when we warned in writing that we would not
accept a rebuild (it had multiple KOs pulled in the chassis -- just not
acceptable). As of right now, we have 7 in non-operational status
awaiting replacement. No kidding.<br><br>
There maybe be one or two that have not failed, but this is offset by
those that have failed multiple times. The biggest failure rate is
of the 6 LV4550s on an exterior north wall 2 blocks from the beach
(<a href="http://millersolar.com/Portfolio/Commercial/Voler/voler.html" eudora="autourl">http://millersolar.com/Portfolio/Commercial/Voler/voler.html</a>).
These have been replaced three or four times each and are coming out as
soon as we finalize the paperwork, with 3 10K Plus series inverters going
in. This will require extensive rework, but we are being paid for
our time. The Fronius staff has been very nice, but pretty slow to
respond.<br><br>
I hate to report bad reviews to this forum, but it is what it
is.<br><br>

100% of what quantity? Are there any special conditions that may have
contributed? Were they minor problems?<br><br>
