Not to sounds like a Fanboy, but Enphase in a small commercial setting is a real option. Owners love the monitoring aspect, the serviceability, the warranty, etc. There is a good safety argument to be made. Replacing micros on a flat roof is usually a cakewalk if necessary. Dealing with roof-mounted equipment shading issues makes micros a good option if optimizers are off the table.

For 480V you're looking at a transformer, which changes the calculus.
