Jeff, Input voltage on the AEI GC-1000 is 48VDC. I have had two stop working and my usual source for servicing inverters wouldn¹t return my calls when they heard the brand name. These units are very simple inside. If you can¹t or don¹t want to rewire the array and use a different inverter you might try opening it up. I was able to put one back in business by replacing a fuse holder with a fried connection. The second one that went out I took to the local high school electronics lab where the students were able to replace a couple of standard components. I am sorry I don¹t have more details but don¹t expect any warranty service on these guys.
