At least 50% of the Radian inverters and/or GSLC cabinets we order arrive missing some part or piece required to install the inverter. Sometimes it is one or more of the bus bars to connect the main DC breaker to the inverter, sometimes it is one of the 8mm nuts required on these bus bars, and the most recent order, and on our most recent order, one of the inverters was missing the 8mm bolts and washers required to connect the bus bars to the inverter plus and minus ports.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We have been having this problem for years.

It used to be the shunts had a solid base. Now the bases are hollow. We use to see these shunt bases cracked almost 100% of the time in shipping because the long, cantilevered negative bus bar was entirely supported at one end by the shunt. Any modest bump on the GSLC cabinet broke the shunt. Now we receive them intact because Alpha has stopped installing the shunt prior to shipping. The problem persists, however, because if you put the slightest pressure on the negative bus bar to align the holes to install the bolts (if they arrive), minimal strain in the base of the shunt cracks it. See the photos below of the old versus new style shunt. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Each of these problems slows down an install and creates frustration.
