Hups do come with a battery pulling tether or did come with one.

I don’t see any other way to grab the cells.

I have done this several times - it’s actually not that difficult with a crew of two or three. Northwest Energy Storage (www.solarone <http://www.solarone> com, I think) supplies a short, heavy nylon strap with clevises at each end for raising and lowering each cell. You might contact them to purchase one. At one remote site, the client suggested that I buy a cheap engine hoist from Harbor Freight, as it would be cheaper than renting a professional one. 2) the older Trace SW series is early technology in regards to its sell efficiency, because of the lack of what was dubbed ‘silent sell’. The general number from when it was about the only game in town was about 55%. I would suggest upgrading to a modern unit if it’s primarily used for selling back.

Each set weighs in excess of 1000lbs. How have you all transported these? The originals were placed into service prior to the room’s walls and roof going up. <image0.jpeg> Dilemma #2: The above system is comprised of a Trace SW5548 along with two Outback FM60s. After reprogramming the CCs and inverter with new charging parameters, I can’t get the Trace to export excess production once the batteries are charged. I do have the inverter set to “Sell” mode What am I missing? I have had little experience with the Trace line.
