Hello James,

I have 1 GC1000-SA. I have had it for 4 years, when I was given it from a friend. I was told it was working when removed from operation. That is all I know. If interested in it let me know!!!

Where are you located?
What a coincidence, I’m picking up two broken GC-1000’s next week . A working unit, or was working, is not common, they seem to have had a very high failure rate for some reason. Everyone is using high voltage inverters nowadays, the GC-1000 was a low voltage inverter, 36V to 48V only. It doesn’t have much value though, mainly because I’m about the only one in the world that fixes them. But I might still be interested in taking it off your hands.

Jim,
I have one of these inverters (Advanced Energy GC 1000)that has just failed. I am going to try to fix this but if I am unable to, I am willing to get rid of it. Can you give me any ideas on what frequently goes wrong with these? If not, do you know anyone who repairs them? I would really appreciate you help.
Thank you very much,
Don

Hello James,

I have a similiar situation to others on here... bought a new-in-box GC-1000 a few years ago and finally got around to trying it out. I have two 67V / 60 W panels that I connected, and aimed two 500W work lights at the panels (it's been cloudy out lately).

My amprobe is showing no current on the AC output...
Upon activating the DC breaker, the LED blinks twice, then three times, and then two times always after that. My voltmeter shows the DC string voltage cycling from between 45V and 65V every ten seconds or so.

I don't have the installation or O & M manual to decode the LEDs and can't find it on line. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Daryl
