Inverter Blah Blah Blah


I recently bought a Trace 4024 (4000 watt) inverter...
Almost 250 pounds in weight!!!

Figured I'd get the "BIG DOG" of inverters.

Best price was at Solatron in Victorville CA
http://www.partsonsale.com/

Opened the box...hooked it up and ALL smoke.
Dead on Arrival

Today, I learned a couple of things.

First this solar company (Solartron) came thru and FIXED the unit yesterday as I waited....no problem.
Three hours of work One hour for testing

I was expecting a 30 day wait for repairs.
Mike the service guy also gave me a class on Inverter 101

Solartron is an authorized service dealer for Trace Inverters.

Second...Trace ia Made in the USA...ha ha....:lol:
All the parts inside are made in China....
Boy are we in trouble if China get mad:lol::lol:

I really have to recommend this company for solar products....

This is my second experience with them...
