[RE-wrenches] Xantrex SunTie
Anyone out there perhaps have a schematic of the guts of this inverter model? If I can get a hold of those schematics I may be able to repair 'em.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sundanzer questions
We have sold dozens and dozens of these units. There was some issues about 5 years ago getting good response from the company, but that was resolved and no longer an issue. We have had a few failures in the field 1 DOA. Worked with a local appliance tech to diagnose and get them spare parts and sundanzer took care of the bill. So very pleased with that. I also had a customer recently mentioning the negative Amazon reviews. Seems to me almost every product out there there will be a few people not happy. From an energy efficiency standpoint these are excellent units. I've also got a couple running at my off-grid home and flawless operation.

[RE-wrenches] Church Solar
I ask, WWWD, what would wrenches do for church/school installations in respect to federal/production incentives specifically at churches and schools? One person champions the federal tax incentive? A corporation/congregation owns the proposed system? Each member of congregation owns a module?

[RE-wrenches] Sundanzer questions
I asked a dealer friend of mine in Southern British Columbia of his experience with Sundanzer and got this response: I have sold only 7 of the 8cuFt. SunDanzers and know of two other owned by an electrician. No complaints from anyone and I have no experience with manufacturer support other than ordering them. Their conservation of electricity performance is excellent, but don’t put an Elk in the freezer and expect it to freeze within a short time. The compressor is small and it freezes slowly. Kip Drobish Oso Renewable Energy So wrenches beware of stuffing an elk in your Sundanzer. Or, Man, that's a deal breaker, I can't stuff an elk in my freezer. Or, the other day I was stuffing an elk in my Sundanzer and the door wouldn't close with those dang legs sticking up. Or. Sorry, couldn't resist.
