I gave up on Enphase a long time ago for the same reasons many of you are
dumping on SE now. High replacement rate etc. Any of you in this biz longer
than ten years knows how horrible the first several generations of Enphase was.
So should I trust Enphase over SE now? Will you trust SE years from now if this
board finds them acceptable again(over Enphase)? Just sayin'

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.
I'm adding an 80kW Enphase IQ array to an existing M-series 70kW system very
soon. Here's Phase 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvXyGiUlALw

This one is 208Y/120. For 480V you're looking at a transformer, which changes
the calculus.

soon".. or the old "Q1 Q2 Q3" promises for equipment or to get thru beta
testing.. .. I too. . . am "Done". . .

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar Edge...continuous saga of 181/183 hardware
failures...moving on to another inverter.
Hi Scot and others
I’ve heard these horror stories about SE
What is the best replacement for SE at this point?
Thanks

Time has finally come to move on from SolarEdge.
Now replacing the THIRD inverter for one customer alone that has the infamous
181/183 hardware failure error code again. First one replaced in Sept 2019.
Second failure and RMA July 6th 2020, and now this third failure on that
replacement inverter.
We have had 24 total RMAs at quick count and it is eating into our credibility.
Solar Edge provided a briefing to me about two months ago acknowledging that
their manufacturing quality control issues bordered on a recall, but opted to
stay silent and let the installers keep suffering for their materiel and design
issues. I was advised that the batch of deficient inverters and their
manufacture time frame meant I just needed to get through this summer…perhaps
but not another summer ever like this.
No more. Au revoir, Solar Edge.
