It depends on whether you subscribe to the micro inverter philosophy or
not. Micro inverters are great if you have a lot of treees (or
something), and have some panels that are shaded a lot.
Personally, I like having the panels in the clear, and going for maximum
voltage in the array.

I'm a bit out of touch, but this didn't seem very disruptive to me.

That is without battery. A full battery system is going to cost
you 3 times that or more.

Yeah, they said $1.50 a watt purchased, but do it yourself installed.
I guess it’s nice having it converted on panel to AC.
But what’s this price vs. buying panels yourself and running DC to
a battery bank?
I want both. I want the panels and the battery with a decent inverter.
I don’t care so much about selling back to the grid.

I think they mentioned something about under $1.50/watt,.. or
something like that, but I have no idea if that's anywhere near
what the real price will be.
It looked to me like they're trying for simplicity more than cheap.

$/watt is the only thing that matters to me. Pricing was not
discussed.
Mounting looks good. Normally integrated inverters and not
the most cost effective method.
Like to know the pricing. Also, you have to submit schematics
and all kinds of other things to the local building inspection
authority here to do a grid tie system. Not sure this would
fly. Did not see all the labels and disconnects that are
required here.

Not sure when they released this, but I just saw this on their
website. https://www.ubnt.com/sunmax/
