    My electrician wants to remove the inverter's supply PE and...

    ...Replace it with a connection to a ground spike via the heat sink. The 1.5kW GTI has no off grid capability. This separates the house PE from the inverters but is it the right thing to do? New to the forum, this is my first post.

    Sunny boy inverter for wind?

    I have an old sunnyboy 1700 and I'm trying to connect it to a 1kw wind turbine. I've been told that if I can get into the inverter software to change parameters (mppt) then it may well work. Has anyone any experience of this, or does anyone know where I can obtain a usb cable/interface for the job?
