Our PV system uses 2 SunPower Inverters. SCE, our utility company just sent us notice that SunPower inverters (manufactured by Xantrex Technology Inc.) are on recall. Anybody else gotten notice? I'm wondering what the potential defect is ... drop in efficiency? ... fire hazard? I can think of at leas a half dozen possibilities. I haven't heard back from the manufacturer, and our installers were too creepy to want to deal with any more. Weird that SCE would notify us faster than SunPower. I never knew SunPower wasn't the manufacturer of our inverters. I wonder how many other folks inverters are made by Xantrex as well.

Ok, if you're wondering about whether YOUR model/brand/label or year is involved in the recall, it looks like this document will answer anybody else's questions as to what damages may happen and what the defects are all about:
