Re: [RE-wrenches] Schneider recall
They are first looking for the UL listing number on specific inverters before they send out repair kits. Andrew Koyaanisqatsi President Solar Energy Solutions, Inc.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Schneider recall
My list is over 100 inverters so far, and I have only got 2-3 years of jobs processed. Getting together all the serial numbers is taking some time. I am glad this recall didn't happen during the end-of-year rush.
