Hello Wrenches, I've been using ModSolar for preliminary estimated and roof layout. While it works OK, it can be a bit kwirky at times and the aerial imagery is at times less than ideal. I'm looking to see what else is out there? Carl Adams SunRock Solar NABCEP Certified PV Installer __

They aren't out of business. The downside, for me, is that the standard racking we use (SnapN Rack) comes in 122" and 162" lengths. I think of these as three module and four module lengths. With Solaria, they're not. The modules are too wide (41.6") for the "standard" configuration. There is a nort

Interesting note. We considered this variable even if there is supposed compatibility. We have gone back and replaced the MC4 connectors with Tyco connectors to ensure this is not the source. Can’t really say it has helped so far. I’m leaning toward AC / DC interference at peak irradiance.
