My SunTie inverters (2) delivered 28% less power as compared to SW5548 (1)over a comparable period!

Hello Mr. Lord,

Could you please discuss how you arrived at the 28% delta? I am happy to support you to the fullest to ensure this does not continue.

Thanks, Tobin Booth

Hi,Tobin:

The percentage difference came from comparing the last 12 months on the SunTies (2 for my 4200 watt array) with a similar period on the SW5548. My solar engineer split the 16 panels between the two inverters...I liked the weight (35 lbs each as opposed to 150 lbs for the 5548), but the output was definitely sub standard.

Two new XRs have now been on line for 5 days and will soon know, when the sun returns, what improvement there is.

Just so you know , the XR's you just installed don't have the updates that Xantrex just released the press release on
