Fellow Wrenches:
To make a long story short, we are done with Enphase. They've refused to
reimburse us for labor after replacing a faulty inverter. So, what
micro-inverters are you using successfully, and how is the tech support
behind it?
Feel free to contact me offlist.
Best,
Chris Daum
Chris,
Took me a while to jump but this season we went to AP systems. About 33%
less $ plus its two modules per inverter, thus cuts down the install labor
and time. The only issue is a base 10 year warranty. Can pay for 20. I'm
hoping enough of us installers complain and they'll bump it up to 25 t
All companies on the stock market exchange MUST live up to their written
warranties AND it is illegal for a contractor to give a longer or better
warranty on THE manufacturers product Than the manufacturer gives . Also in
many states you and the distributor or whoever is left must replace the
prod
I see LG is offering panels with their own micro-inverter. I bet they
have an excellent product warranty. I have been testing their RESU-10
home energy battery for a year now and it is rock solid. Built to last!

Any experience yet with the RESU10H, Dave?

I agree that enphase is not really playing fair but how many micro inverter
manufactures have failed and are no longer even around. Ive been there when
its all out of pocket and l know some of you have too and you have to fix
it all and its all on you. l have megs of enphase both in Califo
This is why string inverters continue to be the most future proof design
strategy. Yes micro's eliminate design complexity (so what), and offer more
granular monitoring, but at what cost? I prefer to sleep at night.

Definitely agree! And for Offgrid why use the roof for anything other than
being a roof. Been there for 25 years now. Electronics on a roof is just a
choice that I understand, but don't care for! --Dave

Howdy Wrenches,
First time poster. Achieved NABCEP PV Pro just this year. Only been in
the solar game 16 months. Our company installs lots of SolarEdge DC
optimizer systems but not too many microinverters. We have recently
embraced the new Outback Pro Harvest equipment (e.g HiQ) which has a

I have only installed 2 Enphase systems 1 just required a bunch of TLC as I was
moving to Idaho from Colorado last fall. No one knew quite what was happening
as the Enphase box had died of course 2 months past warranty & the owner was
shocked at the replacement cost as was I. It really did not m
SMA’s 240 and Enphase both use (or used) electrolytic capacitors, and the most
recent optimizers advertise that they use thin film instead. Does anyone know
if that is the fly in the ointment? If so surely it would be common knowledge
among designers and the mistake would be corrected in for exa
The other argument, Tom, is that it is easy for someone like BP to drop one
of its many product lines and keep all of its others. With no history, any new
hardware will have to generalize on “mean time between failure.” I don’t know
what the future holds for Enphase in particular, but someone
Electrolytic capacitors are an incredible electronic component that really
have no business on a hot roof unless designed to be!
There are huge long term design factors that go into their use. We went to
the Moon, anything can be done, but I question why a string inverter is
not the best choice for
