Thanks, August. Yes, indeed I have been in communication with SunPower on this matter. While they are supporting the use of the iLumen PID with their old style positive-grounded arrays and transformerless inverters, they are not at the point of bringing them in bulk from iLumen in Belgium to offer their dealers.
I am trying to reestablish direct contact with Dirk at iLumen to see about purchasing one or two at a time as I don't want to get a dozen of them. And so it goes. marco On Wednesday, March 15, 2023, August Goers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marco - You might want to check with SunPower again, my understanding > is that they are planning on releasing a PID solution (it might be the > iLumen PIDbox).
