Re: [RE-wrenches] Two Outback Radian 8048 fails in same week..what is likely wrong in 7+ year inverters?

[Jeremy Coxon via RE-wrenches]

I have 3 very lightly used Radian 8048’s on a shelf (they were in standby mode 
only for ~3yrs) that I’d love to find a home for if anyone has a use for them 
or the parts.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Fortress LFPs & ENVY 12kw inverte

[Jeremy Coxon via RE-wrenches]

Kirk,
I was going to make the jump to Fortress Envy after the recent NABCEP 
conference. Seemed like a good way to go, i.e. one company to deal with and 
about same features as SA. When I went to purchase from well known (unnamed) 
dist, I was warned away due to unresolved issues with AC coupling. I couldn’t 
get more info or details - just got pointed to other solutions.  I’m waiting 
and watching to see how they do before I make the jump.  I’m not in the 
business of being front line support for these guys.  I will say they were very 
good at responding to my design questions, but when I brought this little AC 
coupling issue up - crickets.  I also don’t like their “ticket” system for tech 
support.  Frustrating!

[RE-wrenches] Fortress Envy - AC coupled

[Jeremy Coxon via RE-wrenches]

Wondering if anyone has used the new 12kW Fortress Envy inverter in an AC 
coupled system yet and what sort of results you might have seen?  I’ve heard 
that this inverter is made by the same manufacturer as SolArk.  Don’t know if 
that’s true or not, but find it interesting.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Fortress Battery Problems

[Jeremy Coxon via RE-wrenches]

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.

Best Regards,
Jeremy Coxon NABCEP # 091308-21

[RE-wrenches] GT inverter for SWWP turbine

[Jeremy Coxon via RE-wrenches]

We have a customer who has a legacy off grid system which includes a SWWP 
whisper 200.  They now have utility power to the property and so they want to 
go straight grid tie and ditch the batteries and off grid system (even though 
it’s all in perfect working order).  Anyone know of an inverter that we could 
use to accomplish this goal?
