Good to know. 1. I just installed the latest SetApp inverters (the ones without displays) for a ground-mounted array with the inverter in the dwelling.
2. The ground-mounted system had to comply with CEC 2016/NEC 2014 690.12 in California because the system was "in the building." Would the inverter in an indoor or outdoor location be a factor in the failures?
