PowMr low frequency inverter PV input voltage???

PowMr low frequency inverter PV input voltage???

Hi folks, I picked up a PowMr 5KW low frequency inverter to experiment with. Model number POW-RELAB 5KU-SPLIT. I bought it after reading it's manual, which claimed a tracking range of 60-245V, which would work great for my 3S panel setup. Thing gets here, and the manual and sticker claims it's only good for 105V? That may get kinda hairy if the thing unloads the panels. I found another manual that claims 150V max as well. Just peering through the vents, I can see a capacitor in the PV circuit, good for 250V. So, which voltage rating is correct? If it's only good for 105V, that makes this inverter kinda useless. Anyone familiar with these inverters? TIA!

Got a salvage title car with a small bend in the back, think it will pass inspection?

Got a cheap Nissan leaf at auction with a salvage title. Car was totaled over a bumper cover and impact bar. The body is straight, minus where the LH impact bar bracket was forced into the rear closeout. I have measured the replacement impact bar, it is parallel to the rear of the car. There is some visible bends in the closeout panel, but the support underneath is unaffected. Will the inspector kick back the vehicle over this? TIA!
