Only too familiar with them Jeff... 48 VDC, 120 VAC output. You may be able to field repair it (?). in the lowwer section (string combiner/disco), above the input fuses there should be a master fuse... the fuse doesnt fail but the fuse holder fails... if thats it your back in business with a soldering iron... if not, scrap it.
depending on the modules, we have used SB-1800 (120 VAC output). I think the small PV powered looks like a solution as well. Good luck.
