Aloha, We have installed one system so far and it seems to be working and performing well. The one thing I have learned is that Aurora micros only have a NEMA 4 rating while all Enphase micros have the NEMA 6. This could be a big problem down the road perhaps. Also the wireless data monitoring was a little tricky to set up and get going and, is only good for 30 devices. Our customer had limited roof space so this was the best option for him at the time.

It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless! - William McDonough
