Marco, the easiest solution may be to just replace it with a 4-pole disconnecting combiner from another manufacturer. SolarBOS, for example, has one available in 4X (fiberglass or SS). On 2011/12/7 12:41, Marco Mangelsdorf wrote: Anyone ever come across the SMA combi switch in a stainless encl

William, Almost everyone, including manufacturers, wants standard module sizes. There are a lot of similar modules, but manufacturers produce different size and shape cells (everything from 4-inch square on up and semi-square, round, etc.) and customers have different voltage and current needs

Friends: Why can't the industry create a list of standard module sizes, sort of like the battery industry has (http://www.rtpnet.org/teaa/bcigroup.html)? This would be a big benefit to the consumer and the installer. If a module of Group X size breaks, you are far more likely to find a repla
