Subject: [RE-wrenches] SMA inverterters with SPS

Good morning folks!
Been interesting to see that both SMA and Fronius inverters ar no longer 
available thru our normal distribution channels.  All their residential models 
seem to be unavailable with our distributors not having any idea on return to 
availability.  Anyone know why both of these string inverter options seem to 
have evaporatedare they gone for good?
WE have a client looking to do a system with 3 - 5kW inverters with the SPS.  
The SPS being the feature they are after.  Anyone have insight into this 
availability issue or know where to get some of those inverters? Mike Mahon?
Would appreciate any insight.

Thanks.
Sunny Regards,

HI Wrenches,

A couple of weeks ago this thread came up - main topic was lack of 
tech support from Fortress.  A few days later I was contacted by Marc 
Zeitlin, Fortress's Regional sales manager Midwest.  We haven't used 
Fortress yet, but I basically reiterated the concerns that were 
expressed on this thread and said that I'd be interested once they had 
their Tech support issues ironed out.  To my surprise Marc really took 
that feedback and ran with it all the way up to offering me and those 
of you that are interested a call with their CEO and anyone else we 
would like to talk to.  I offered to send this note to the list and 
invite you all to join the call.  I would think we'd want to keep the 
numbers manageable, but we can figure that out.


I don't have a horse in the race and have no association with 
Fortress, but I thought it might be a really good opportunity for 
those of you that have more experience with Fortress to get a direct 
line with their CEO and main tech folks so that we can hopefully 
improve things for all.  Marc has proposed Thursday January 5th at 
10am.  Let me know directly at jco...@sunwindpowerinc.com if you're 
interested and I'll pass your name along so they can get this set up.

Re: [RE-wrenches] SMA inverterters with SPS

2022-12-12 Thread Dave Tedeyan via RE-wrenches 
I have heard from my distributor that SMA is in the process of ending the
-41 line and will be coming out with a new line of inverter that is
UL1741-SB certified. I've been told SMA says Q2 next year is when the new
line will be available, but my vendor says that it always slips. This is a
bummer for anyone in NY where the utilities are going to require UL1741-SB
starting Jan1. So it seems for most of next year, our options are basically
Enphase and SolarEdge...

Cheers,
Dave
