Is this the same concept as Tigo? (and others)

With outback fire raptor has been successful, it has a power supply
and if you shut the inverter or use the button either will shut off
the RSD. This is all it is no optimizer, no data, no bypass for shade
just RSD.

So who has a good reliable off grid RSD? It all looks like failure

I would once again say that; we as an industry can influence
not only the writing of the code but with what we are /buying/
OR /not buying./
If the devices we are required to install to make things “more
safe & reliable”, at the cost of our livelihoods &
reputations, we all need to make the folks that are building
the RSD crap and those who require installation of
questionably safe & reliable crap aware of these problems.
WE can thru either going to the code development meetings AND
NOT buying or installing this stuff. Not too easy when a huge
amount of solar is rooftop installs. As many of the installers
in the NE know its not a single level ranch were installing
this stuff on, short season & man lift required.
Tell your supplier why you are not buying that brand, let
your supplier & folks on the list what manufacture has good
reliable products AND tech support that we can understand, who
we can get in a timely fashion, and get the satisfaction of a
prompt replacement. IF we don’t sell it they won’t have a job
or a market.

Carl,
Did you get any kind of joy out of APSmart on that failure?
I will say that their tech support guy did at least try to be
helpful, but the language barrier was really really steep and
their distribution channels are less than ideal. Their
response to a request for compensation was that they would
not be profitable if they had to pay for truck rolls for such
a low cost item. I really don’t think they GET IT. We’ve
been in business for over 16yrs and this one failure could
easily have ended that run.
I cannot imagine we’re alone here. I was told by AP that
their failure rate was 0.2%. Now, I come from a reliability
engineering background in petro chemical/ big pharma where a
0.2% failure rate would be catastrophic. Can you imagine
that 2 out of every 1000 pills made could cause death? We
engineered secondary systems and multiple quality checks to
contain catastrophic consequences for components that had
know failure rates higher than acceptable values. A simple
solution to this fire initiation issue would be a metal
enclosure instead of plastic casing. That still doesn’t
really solve the problem of extra connections though.
