I wonder about that. Of course, it could be the "inverter output circuit" having a fault in the wiring still (an intermittent issue somewhere within the IQ cable or home run wiring). But internal to the microinverter, is it possible that a fault could still occur at night? I had a suggestion from a

Wrenches Looking g at the bigger breaker tripping at the same time is very likely do to response time of the breaker nothing more. As l suggested in a previous message.

Undoubtedly, the termination caps are the second thing we check after the rooftop junction box(es). These are prone to installation errors, even when the right parts are used. And given the cost, I've thought very long and hard about abandoning them altogether and terminating strings in small j-box
