I'm sooo glad I didn't sell the customer this inverter. I checked, and the E panel for an Outback inverter is the same size, so I think we're going to keep the E-Panel all wired into everything else, and just swap the door (and inverter) out. R.Ray Walters CTO, Solarray, Inc Nabcep Certified

I gotta agree with Bobbo on this one. What a hunk of garbage! It has about a 50% failure rate in my experience. I guess that means you've got a 50-50 chance of not having a problem though! Jon Hill solar...@gmail.com 530-559-3781 On Apr 30, 2013, at 4:54 PM, Bob-O Schultze wrote: > The TR is

Ray An Apollo inverter should fit on the same E-panel. I have using one on my off grid house for may years. They also have great remote monitoring over the internet. David Katz Sent from my iPhone On Apr 30, 2013, at 7:26 PM, "Ray Walters" wrote: > I couldn't agree more Bob-O > Pharmaceutic

I couldn't agree more Bob-O Pharmaceutical company? Ethics? Opps. I thought Schneider buying them would help, but they have no idea what they're even selling these days. Have you seen their website? I can't even find a spec sheet for the TR in all that "Solutions for PV systems" mumbo jumbo.

The TR is a classic example of what I call 3C. Cheap Chinese Crap. If Xantrex had any ethics at all they would have killed that line and refunded everyone's dough years ago. Bob-O On Apr 30, 2013, at 3:44 PM, Kent Osterberg wrote: Ray, I've got a customer that has the same problem with a dual

Ray, As I prefer sine waveform, I haven't built a system with a DR in ten years and have never used a TR. However, we just installed a modern system for the new owner of a home that had previously run a TR1512 for years. The old system - which was seriously non-Co

Ray, I've got a customer that has the same problem with a dual TR inverter system. When we first complained, Xantrex promised they were working on a fix. That never materialized and now the TR is out of production. It's a lousy product and customer service has been the same. A few months ago,

Hi Folks: I just finished up another ugly rewire project for a customer that had another"installer" put in a Xantrex TR inverter. We fixed numerous wiring issues, including neutral bonded to ground in 7 different places! The issue we're having now though, is that the TR inverter output voltage
