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 example, in the IQ 6.
Bill Dorsett Manhattan, KS From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Chris Schaefer Sent: Friday, July 14, 2017 12:00 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] No more Enphase 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 to match the modules.

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?
