We install 6-8 solaredge systems a week averaging 30 optimizers a job so even at a 1% failure rate (we are seeing slightly higher) we are still visiting 2 customers a week to change out optimizers. Although their monitoring is better than previous attempts by differnet companies we are still

It is a very simple install. With SolarEdge there is no trunk cable, which definitely cuts down on wire management, especially using SnapNRack mounting. Everything is MC4, so PV wire to a transition box, to the inverter input(s) make it pretty simple. We almost always mount our inverters outside,

Do you find that the installation takes longer because you're basically installing a micro inverter and string inverter system at the same time? I've also heard of AHJ's requiring that the inverter be mounted outside because of the rapid shutdown disconnect attached to the inverter. Thanks, Will

Since I am having such a tough time even getting a call back, never mind reimbursments, we have started very happily using SolarEdge with very good results so far. Communications, no problem, occasional tech support is timely, we are seeing less than a 1% failure on optimizers. Ease and safety of

Good to "see" you, Daryl. I, too was getting a runaround from Enphase and related this to the owner with some 50+ micros. He took on the attack dog posture and got results immediately. Sad that threats and abuse and long waits in phone queue are necessary. Bill Loesch Solar 1 - Saint Louis

The concept of micros has so many advantages that we will try to stay with them. So what are our best choices now? Feb 2015, Enecsys was biggest in Europe but called it quits; Nov 2014, SolarBridge sold to SunPower (presumably has distribution only in house); SMA? It’s been rocky from its

Is anyone familiar with the new Kaco Ultraverter ? Its a microinverter with series-connected string architecture *on the AC side*! Pretty crazy. They say the lower voltages (nothing over 60V on the AC or DC side of each unit) reduces stress on

We are finding the same problem. Usually it is a problem with an untypical Envoy location (remote barn with a tin roof or a bad cable modem connection) or communications issues between the inverters and the Envoy. Nearly all our systems are operating as expected, and I think the company has good
