<br>
We are working with a Xantrex GT 100 that appears on it's last legs. Schneider shipped a matrix and we installed it but that didn't work. Now they say we need to install a CCU and new motherboard. I believe I have all this right. If there is a way to replace
the whole inverter with a legacy 600Vdc inverter instead, I'd do that. Any ideas on were to get those? Solectria PVI 95 seems like it would work. Otherwise our engineer could look at retrofitting the system with Hi-Q inverters. Any wisdom here would be
greatly appreciated!<br>
