I promised a picture of the Sonnen installation. As these units are getting
close to being appliances in the same vein as home audio, we wanted to have
a clean finish so we made some mill work to complete the top of the unit to
the ceiling and hide the ugly conduits.

Chris,

Nice finish on the Sonnen install.  It looks fabulous.  My understanding is
the Eco 2-8 integrate the 4kW radian, and the 10-16 incorporates the 8kW
radian.  I assume generator support is fully supported

Enclosed is a photo of what appears to be a test/lab Sonnen

Can plainly see the 8kW Outback Radian inverter and I assume four

  "standard" 48V Radian inverter.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sonnen Battery & Outback Radian Inverter

2016-06-17 Thread Roland - RES 
FYI that's a showroom unit with none of their internal wiring, and dummy 
inverter and batteries to keep it light. An actual unit has a tremendous amount 
of factory wiring between contractors, 200a auto transfer switch CT's and 
sensors along with a powder coated steel door in place of plexiglass. The 
Batteries are manufactured by Sony, they come in 48V 2kWh blocks that get 
paralleled together.
