At SPI10 right now, getting bigger and worse every year. Same handful of "Solar Celebs," same lack of insight, or a real market to apply it all to.
HEY SMA, FRONIUS, PVPOWERED, SOMEONE, MAKE A 3840W Inverter with CYCLING MULTI STAGES, and MULTIPLE MPPT ALGO's! Minimum of 3 MPPTS, and have it be at least 96% eff. Design, Manufacture, and List only one, make a bunch so they can be cheap, but make them in a country that cares about environmental responsibility and controls, preferably bringing us U.S. jobs. It maximizes a 20A breaker, that can take different and wide voltage ranges/string lengths, open up particularly on the shorter side, allowing different orientations and technologies, undersized arrays should be fine too due to smaller, cycling stages. Give us string level monitoring, which really is plenty good enough for our purposes. Call it the enphase-killer in some Solarpro advertisement, show pictures of an enphase unit as a doorstop, paperweight, meat-tenderizer, etc. and be done with this over-employed, stop-gap of a technology.
