Hi Terry, I don't believe Jurgen's data of 60% plus year round given the location he lives in. Partial DC systems are very pricey, so why not give the client the *best* and then when they move (about every five years on average in Canada) they will be protected in the new location. I also believe that the full system will lead to few tunings for the client--so that more time can be spent on regulation and other issues.
