<div>Thanks Dave,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now we don't feel so left out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Everyone might want to notice that the temps are in centigrade, not Fahrenheit </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is still off for this area, by a bunch on the cold side but i guess we just need to let common sense work and account of that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Last year the low was -39 in Watertown and colder in other areas that no one wants to put a weather station in....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tell me again why i live here?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Later,</div>
<div>Bob</div>

<br> Just a note here- rather than using the record lows, you can go back<br> to the future and use the ASHRAE minimum expected temperatures as<br> the 2011 NEC will allow explicitly. In the '08, it says to use the<br>
"lowest expected ambient temperature," for which the ASHRAE<br> temperatures are more appropriate than record lows. These ASHRAE<br> temps will be higher than the record lows and will add a little more<br>
cushion there at 600 VDC.<br><br> So where to get these temperatures? Starting on page 47:<br> <a href="http://www.solarabcs.org/permitting/Expermitprocess.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.solarabcs.org/permitting/Expermitprocess.pdf</a><br>

If you want to use an SMA inverter, go to the SMA website to use<br> their excellent sizing program. Plug in the module, and your<br> record minimum and average maximum temps for the site, and look<br> for a current model inverter that will work. All of the "U"<br>
series inverters (except for the 700U) are discontinued models,<br> and the "US" series are the current models.<br> If your min temp is not below 14\u2070F, it looks like you can use<br> all 24 in one series string with the 4000US inverter, but that<br>
gets you awfully close to 600VDC (595VDC) at 14\u2070F. You might<br> want to play it safe and drop one of the modules. Unfortunately,<br> none of the SMA inverters will operate with only 12 modules in a<br>
string (with two strings). However, a Fronius IG-3000 will, so<br> you might want to go with that, although it has a lower efficiency.<br> Brian Teitelbaum<br> AEE Solar<br> -----Original Message-----<br>
