<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Kirk,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, a couple of questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1) what is "larger Enphase
systems" (number of load centers) and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2) what roof angle?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, if you buy into the hype that, with Enphase,
shading is a minor detail, you may want to consider using something like one or
more cupola(s) to mount the standard load centers upright (and prettier).
An AC version of the Outback combiner would be, IMHO, definitely
preferable.</FONT></DIV>

combiner box</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am about to start some larger Enphase systems, and Im
wondering if there is an AC combiner out there (outdoor load center,
etc) that is listed to be mounted at an angle(meaning roof angle), ala the
Outback DC combiner boxes. I want several combiner / discos on the roof
and it wont look very pretty to have them mounted vertically.
Thanks.<o:p></o:p></P>
