I don't know about Solaredge, but Tigo has optional irradiance monitoring to
compliment the module level performance monitoring that comes with their
package (Maximizer at each PV, Gateway wirelessly collects info from
maximizers and sends it to the Management Unit. Info is then sent via
ethernet to residence router).

Any chance for solar resource monitoring to help the data make sense?
Irradiance monitoring is necessary to understand performance. Does
SolarEdge
have that option yet?
Bill.

Hello everyone,
I have installed four SolarEdge systems so far and am happy share my
experiences My first installation is available for public monitoring via
monitoring.solaredge.com. It consists of 26 Aleo s_1.8 225W modules, 26
PowerBoxes installed on Unirac solarmount rail and SolarEdge 5000US
inverter. It was commissioned on June 6,2010 and has produced 6.3 MWh of
total energy.
Pros:
Module level monitoring
Centralized inverter
Safety voltage for servicing the system
Free internet monitoring & iPhone application
Cons:
Additional wire management and zip-tieing to the racking system
Homerun is DC so it needs to be inside conduit (vs. Enphase)
Tip: Remember to write down your serial numbers for PowerBoxes before
installing the modules.
I am happy to answer any other questions as well.
Best regards,
