My rusty memory was telling me the 4248 was listed by ETL. From my hotel room in sunny San Diego :-), a quick drill-down into ETL's Listed Mark Directory found this: Inverter Charge Controller, Model No. SI4248U. Evaluated to the following...A representative sample of the listed devices have been tested, investigated and found to comply with the requirements of the Standard(s) for Safety Inverters, Converters, & Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems (UL-1741) and are identified with the ETL Listed Mark. http://etlwhidirectory.etlsemko.com/WebClients/ITS/DLP/products.nsf/6a42 1efeead6f216852568d4005862af/8714764900c91ce78525737f0049ce6e?OpenDocume nt&ExpandSection=2&Highlight=0,SMA#_Section2
Similar for Canada, but with the cETL: http://etlwhidirectory.etlsemko.com/WebClients/ITS/DLP/products.nsf/6a42 1efeead6f216852568d4005862af/81e240dda7c6a59e8525737f0049bbff?OpenDocume nt&ExpandSection=2&Highlight=0,SMA#_Section2 However, I would discuss (nicely) with the AHJ about the reasonableness of their requirement to provide the manufacturer's original certification -- after all, the inverter is either listed to UL1741 or it isn't, and confirming this is a simple matter of looking for the listing mark on the equipment installed. An installer would have to be pretty brave to try to sneak a non-listed inverter through. Pretty soon we'll have to do secret utility-interactive handshakes to prove our worthiness. Although now that I think of it, that certainly would make the floor show this week far more entertaining..... More ocean! More sun!

As has the cut sheet which bears the ETL stamp, or the web page that said it was tested successfully. We have to submit the UL or other certification for each install we do in their territory at this time. So I need a copy of the certificate issued to SMA for this product - their other certifications are listed on their website, but not this one. -Glenn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Kelly Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 12:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; RE-wrenches Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] SMA Sunny Island Glenn, It meets UL 1741 based on the first paragraph on page 10 of the user manual: http://www.sma-america.com/en_US/products/off-grid-inverters/sunny-islan d-42 48u/dl/U0k0MjQ4VV9NYW51YWw%3D/download.html Best, Mike On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 11:26 AM, Glenn Burt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello esteemed colleagues, > > Can anyone tell me for certain (as in they have seen a copy of it) if the > Sunny Island 4248 has been listed by UL or another NRTL?
