Wolvenar:
After reading the things I have about this inverter, i would be avoiding it like the plague

DBCollen:
I have a Samlex S-2024A sinewave inverter that I took back from a customer because it pulls about 50 watts idle, which ate up most of his solar output. I ended up eating that one and I fixed his old trace msw DR2424

Rover:
I've sent an email to Samlex to see if they have anything to say about the vendors claim.

wait and see.

Rover:
I received a very interesting response from them... apparently disuading me from searching out the unit any more... what follows is the complete transcript of my email conversation.


Below is my response and the rest is the trail

Thank you for the prompt reply.

 

I dislike misinformation when trying to settle on a product.

 

I’m, a this point going to look at Xantrex and others,

 

Thank you,

Hi Scott

 

Thank you for contacting us. 

 

Direct Depot does not purchase directly from us and I am unaware of where their misinformation regarding the SSW-2000 was derived from.   

 

We have had an opportunity to make improvements to the design and capabilities of the SSW-2000.

Currently, we do not have any inventory as we have chosen to wait until the improvements have been completed before bringing in product.

 

We have a number of other models that can be used in its place, and at this time, we are recommending a substitution of the PST-200S-12A.

We have a number of on-line suppliers that carry our products. I would suggest you contact www.Donrowe.com ; www.batterystuff.com or www.allpowersupply.com  to purchase.

                 

 

 

Regards,

Is this true ?

 

Thanks,

Sorry but this item has been put on a quality hold by the manufacture and all inventory is being shipping back.  About 50% of the units start smoking when plugged in.

 

Thanks,

Wolvenar:
Rather interesting email correspondence.

Interesting to hear their word spin :-)
