Although the Sonnen Eco 12 uses an Outback Radian 8kW multimode inverter(of which Outback suggests to max AC couple input of 5kW) Sonnen says that AC PV input greater than 8kW will require a contactor <span> </span>to interrupt a string or two of the grid interactive inverter so that it\u2019s output will remain less than the max 8kW input. That\u2019s fine and well, but when asked directly, Sonnen didn\u2019t have a part # for the contactor and suggested that anything over 150V DC would be difficult to find. Anyone know of a 600V rated contactor that would suit the bill? Essentially the contactor would need to sense grid interruption (via a 15A-AC breaker) and open a 600 V rated DC string. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:17px;line-height:normal;color:rgb(69,69,69);min-height:20.3px"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:17px;line-height:normal;color:rgb(69,69,69)"><span>I\u2019ve done some preliminary searching and have come up empty handed.
