<p>The Midnite Solar Classic Controller used to be able to be
positive grounded. The Classic 250 can do five 60 cell modules in
series.<br>

<p>I got around this for a client by adding an XW and the high
voltage MPPT. It has a positive ground option and it worked
well. Scheider now has a 100a Mppt version BTW. Pretty easy way
to solve it and add batteries. Use a Radian also if the FM100
can be negative grounded.</p>

<div>Looking for feedback on the following, any help
would be appreciated;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Positive grounded arrays(Sunpower systems) what is
being used as an Inverter replacement?</div>
<div>Hard to get SMA's SBxxxxUS older style units that
have the built-in POS/NEG grounding capability...</div>
<div>As far as I know the newer line of Inverters from
SMA will not work ; they are TL's and are not
compatible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It would be tempting to "Un-Ground" the array and
use the newer line of TL Inverters from SMA.</div>
<div>The Discon would need to do both POS/NEG lines;OK</div>
<div>I know of this being done with Arrays that are NEG
grounded.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How much of a Power loss from the array would be
expected due to removing the POS ground on Sunpower
panels and run them Un-grounded ?</div>
<div>Guessing say 15 to 20% ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This may be a solution that the customer would go
along with short of replacing the entire system.</div>
