Yes, I did 13 kw tracked system in SW Colorado in ’06-07? And the utility wanted a rev. grade meter. The SMA Sunny web-box box had crapped out 2 months past warranty & the owner was not interested in installing another. Solar-Log was very helpful during & after the installation.
We did have the S-L meter go down & replacement was quick & I suspect to this day, lightning. We had 2 separate SMA inverters also go down on this site and lightning may have been a contributing factor though nothing was ever determined specifically. If the Sunny web box is not in manufacture any more, why would you go that route now? You will be replacing with a Solar-Log or other meter down the road. Solar-Log gets a thumbs up from me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. 208.721.7003 [email protected] Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 028374 NABCEP # 051112-136 www.solarwork.biz "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" P Please consider the environment before printing this email.

I can't simply tell my customer - "oh by the way - you know that cadillac system I sold you and am installing in June? oh the manufacturer has no monitoring solution for you"! Especially after repeating over and over again the most important part of any off-grid system is the battery % gauge in the kitchen!!! So if anyone has a SUNNY WEBBOX out there - or knows where I can get one. Please contact me OFFLIST. Thanks so!
