Wrenches,
Earlier post was accidental, incomplete (below). Anyway,
I've since rec'd a response from SMA (Thanks Mike), despite my lack of
details of this proposed change-out he offered some valuable tips.
Yes, I was hoping by splitting this array of 30, Evergreen
190's into two strings, using 2 of the three MPPT inputs in the SMA
SB-40 and using the existing wiring which is: "Diesel Locomotive Cable"
yes, see the picture, leads from the PVs and USE-2 for home runs (in
conduit), that this would work.
A couple times I've taken the gamble of purchasing used
not-to-old inverters off Ebay but as time goes on I'm feeling like my
luck so far won't hold out. Sometimes you can find an old inverter that
doesn't many KWhrs on it and was mounted inside or north side of the
house with a cooler climate....It depends on the customer and
situation. This seems like a solid way to go but would appreciate (+)
or (-) feedback, experience.
I wish I'd stocked up on SB-40's and 41's before they
disappeared.

Wrenches,
We have a customer with older (circa 2008) SMA SB5000US
that seems to have failed. Zonna is not an option, none in stock. You
Love Solar wants $4K+ (with tax,and shipping) but we have a new SMA
SB6.0-1SP-US-40 in a dusty box in stock.
