Hi William, I wanted to let you know that currently, there is no bypass terminal to allow for combining at the array in this series of inverters. We have gotten a lot of feedback from customers that this is a required feature. Working toward that, in the next few months, we will phase into production an update that will include a bypass, but the existing stock does not have the feature.
I wanted to let you know so you could plan appropriately.

From: RE-wrenches [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of William Miller Sent: Monday, October 6, 2014 14:40 To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] TL inverter with long DC Feeder Wrenches: We are getting up to speed on using transformer-less inverters. I have advocated long for the additional safety offered by these inverters but I am realizing the trade-offs with the new technology: The implementation gets more complicated with the requirement for PV wire, OCPD and disconnecting means for plus and minus and plus providing Arc Flash rated equipment. I am currently designing a system that will locate the PV about 400 feet from the residence. The system will utilize 2 Solectria 5200 watt inverters at the residence. I would like to provide disconnecting means for the 4 strings at the array, in case of any needed service or excavating. Preferably I'd like the disconnecting means to be deployable by a lay person (i.e. the gardener). Finding an 8 pole, arc flash, 600 VDC rated disconnect is not easy. I could install an Outback 8 circuit combiner with 8 touch-safe fuse holders. The new combiners have had dead-fronts for a while now. The gardener needs only to have a Philips screw driver to open this cover. Any better ideas out there?
