<p>We've had some systems at 11,000 ft plus, for almost 20 years.
We have mixtures of Outback, Midnite, Blue Sky, and old Trace
equipment. Never any issues with electronics related to
altitude. Actually the altitude related system issues are
generator derating, and array output exceeding STC ratings on
really clear cold days due to the thin atmosphere. The third
issue would be installers not being able to catch our breath after
jogging back to the truck. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Chris; I am deeply concerned about this as
nearly 100% of the systems I install are at 8000 ft (2500m) or
higher. I've never had a problem with warranty claims to Outback
or Schneider up to this time. If this is a "new thing" I'd
really like to know about it, on list or off.

<div>The alitude de-rate stuff seems to involve dialectric
ratings on the transformer coils, and low air density for
cooling. I think that's all in ANSI.</div>
