What modules does it have? If they are susceptible to PID (Potential Induced Degradation), you may need to find an inverter with a solid negative ground. I avoided the Xantrex grid tie inverters, but am assuming the are grounded.

Howdy Wrenches,

Any "old timers" here care to chime in with some basic info on what I might be heading out to see at a 10+ year old ground mount? It's a Xantrex displaying the message AC Fault 186.6v. I'm prepared to head out there and troubleshoot blind if no one has anything to offer up but figured why not post a quick message here in case anyone has insight they wish to share with me prior to my visit next week.

Subsequently since this is a ground mount it doesn't need rapid shutdown so if the inverter has failed I probably have some decent options to replace it. If you've had good luck with a particular brand to use for swaps please share that intel as well. I don't know how big the array is so all I'm looking for is brands and not models.

Most appreciated,
Sam
