Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Thought it worth a picture, old GTI's had many reusable parts for our projects, looking at the newer inverter's coming out, its not so good.
Another friend dropped in the other day with this Solar edge inverter, something wrong with it apparently.

Its very a light weight inverter????? Ok, its PLASTIC.... plastic cover and box for the solar breaker, plastic cover for the inverter as well, the box is also plastic.
It has a nice aluminium heat stink, be surprised if it hasn't got some plastic in it somewhere.

Anyway, about the parts, capacitors are those black rectangular type, 70uF 700v, so they don't really fit the things we are working on at the moment, the chokes are interesting, they look like the EE type but the center is round.

Mosfets and things are unknown at this time, have not seen any soldered legs yet.

This is a sign of things to come.....wait its here already FFS.

Edit,
It has a nice Wi-Fi antenna cable.
