Cali lead [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi All,

I have worked on those systems and with the Tribe with Arne and Johnny Weiss from SEI.  Its a very, very unique gig.  Actually the closeest person is probably Bob-o.

As to Wes, he is retired, doing permaculture and being a grandfather.

On another note, I have a 4048SW in the field as a intertie sell back and it works fine for me.  I have it on battery sell, the Grid usage timer set for I think 3 hours night ( customers request) and it works fine.  Maybe I just got a good inverter.

I have heard through the grapevine that there are some new German inverters, Grid tied coming out, in UL right now that should blow doors on the trace units if the reports I hear are accurate.

Peace,

Jay Peltz

> Hello Kurt & other wrenches. This may be a GREAT long- to mid- term prospect. The Yuroks are in my back yard, and I am in touch with them. I have offered my help in answering their questions and keeping the project on track, but I do not do installations. They have solid plans for only one system for one of their elders right now, but it probably would work into a bunch of systems in the next year or so. They should have a request for bids available soon.

Tom Starrs had some kind of a contract with them to help out with the systems and give the hydro site a good once-over. Arne Jacobsen was Tom's man on the job.
