Marco; Check out Citel, they make a line of DIN rail mountable units for DC voltages up to 1000v. Prices are in the $100 to $200 range. One at the combiner box, and one at the inverter, with ground rods at each location should give reasonable coverage. I like Polyphasor's stuff too, but it is p

Is the best one can do as far as high DC array voltage the Delta LA602? Didn't they used to have a high voltage version of the LA302DC? Thanks, marco provision_highres_solar_logo2 with C-26351 Marco Mangelsdorf, President 69 Railroad Avenue, A-7 Hilo, Hawai'i 96720 (808) 969-3281, 934

Hope I have not posted this before, but it keeps coming up.   We do many systems that include a battery connected inverter and generator to provide backup power for upscale homes.  Although we have no problem with roof mounted arrays, many of these homes may be large, but usually are either shaded
