Thanks for all the great feedback. This installation was more screwed up than Hogan's goat, so replacing the inverter is the least of the clients problems. I found that there was no ground wires to any modules, no ground rod, no GFI, and it is a metal pole mounted array located in the center of a

48 VDC, 120 VAC output. You may be able to field repair it (?). in the lowwer
section (string combiner/disco), above the input fuses there should be a master

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 mi
Hi All,
I want to thank everyone about all the great info on the Evergreen.
The system is in Suriname, South America.
Its a telecom site which was contracted out and although
there are no problems yet, when we found the melted junction boxes,
well the emails started then.
Thanks again its b
Jeff,
I am not sure of the input Voltage characteristics of the AEI GC-1000, but I
know that PV Powered has a new 1000 Watt inverter that is a 120 Vac output.
They also have a variation of this model that is called the "EVR" or Expanded
Voltage Range, which has a much wider Voltage window. It m
Hi Jeff,
Yep the AEI GC-1000
Not being made anymore, nor as far as I know is anyone servicing these
units.
Best bet is to rewire the array for higher voltage and use a new
inverter.
Not too many other options that I know of.

Anybody out there familiar with the Advanced Energy Inc. grid-tie inverter?
I was called to a school with an existing defunct pole-mounted 1 kW array and high up on the pole was an inverter made by these guys. I could not get access to the unit as I was only checking for what was there now, but
Greetings wrenches,
This is my first post. I ran into this with an SB3000 back in June. I called
SMA tech support and spoke to Jake, who was familiar with the problem. His
explanation was that there was a series of boards that got some excess
lacquer sprayed on them at the factory. This lacquer co
We found one of these recently & it turned out to be a loose fuseholder for
the GFDI fuse in the inverter.
Slightly pinching the holder arms cured it.
Might be worth a try?

No, this is a 4.5 kW, grid tied, PV only system.

Hi Peter,
What I'm curious about is at what voltage does this occur. 48, 160???
I have 3 in series on a ungrounded system for 2 years now and are
working just fine. Output is what is should be and no problems.
I know that Sunpower has a white paper that shows at lower voltages

HI Allan and Walt,
I might suggest a Solid State relay instead of a standard unit.
This will work fine on the MX AUX relay, are totally sealed, and very
reliable.
The MX model line is no more, been replaced with the FM 60/80.
