Re: [RE-wrenches] Schematic for AES Inverter

[Allan Sindelar]

Peter, It wasn't Siemens, it was Beacon Power, primarily a flywheel energy developer in Massachusetts. They continued to offer the Multi-Mode GTBB inverter for awhile, but the GC-1000 was immediately discontinued. You might contact them for more info - beaconpower.com.

If I remember correctly, the PV modules were SP-65s!   I spend a lot of time teaching PV theory, sales and installation courses in the Los Angeles area, now, and I was wondering if my students could tear down these GC-1000s, and with the aid of component-level (part level) schematic, make sense of how the functionality of a grid tied, sine wave, MPP inverter is realized in a concrete example.   Does anyone have an idea as to how I could get a schematic of the GC-1000? As I remember, Siemens Solar acquired the AES assets.   Peter   Peter T.

As to the lower limit, I think that would depend on the location. In a garage, for example, the AHJ could make a case for 18" as that's where outlets generally live, but there is no lower limit that I'm aware of.   On Oct 21, 2014, at 9:02 PM, frenergy wrote:   Wrenches,           I can't seem to find a reference to the heights allowable for inverter installs, either minimum or maximum (need both).  For that matter, AC combiners, DC discos, any switchgear related to the inverter(s).           Any help appreciated.   Bill Feather River Solar Electric solar powered since 1982 _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address:   RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive:   http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
