    I have heard of helicopter parents but never helicopter loans? Perhaps spell check is messing with HELOC. When I typed HELOC, It gave me the choice of helicopter or holocaust. Go figure.
    HELOC stands for Home Equity Line of Credit loans. Try searching for Home Equity Loans. Be sure you fully understand what you’re getting into. Compare the cost of a HELOC against a potential Re-Fi to see which might work better for you.

      Wow. Not heard of the negative ground problem but you aren't considering scrapping g all your panels and starting over are you? Even if wiring and inverter need to switch are not the panels still a proper DC source for whatever new inverter you go with?
      Actually, thanks in part to this forum, I was able to find 2 “new old stock” positive ground inverters manufactured by SMA under the Sunny Boy name. I was able to successfully swap out my SunPower SPR-4000m’s for SB-4000US inverters. “New Old Stock” means new in the box, never opened, but manufactured, as in this case, in 2012. The system is humming once again.
