Anybody got any recommendations for grid tied inverters especially ones that work with APSmart? I'm seeing a serious need for alternatives and not sure if I'm ready to go all in with enphase yet as I still have customers out there who got burnt from their early years and lack of compatability and solutions for their early generation systems. We've done solaredge for years and after the last round of outages here I've been doing service calls all week...noticing they aren't sending return labels for HDWave inverters anymore isn't a promising prospect..
