Hi Volvo,
I didnt realize at the time I needed a mate to program things. I am not planning to use the inverter as a charger (at least not right now).Yes I still need to pick up a couple shunts for the Trimetric, I have 4 or 5 on hand but not sure of there rating yet.Yes I did get the 48 volt adaptor for it. I will order the Mate today and shop for a breaker. Do I need to buy a special DC box for one breaker? Or can I rig some other mount up? This free energy is killing me!

Them DC breakers are wierd things, they don't mount properly in a standard AC box. I suppose you could just bailing wire it to a piece of plywood but if it was me, I'd do it right.

Here's where I bought all my Outback stuff, this guy seriously discounts Outback products. He's over 10% less than altenergystore for the stuff you need.

I'd get a PS2DC if I were you, About $200, but will last the lifetime of your system. Call Tom up at thesolar biz and he'll make sure you get everything you need to hook it up right. He was very helpful with me and I didn't lack anything when it was time to install my system.
