[RE-wrenches] Request for Enphase inverter comments

[Orion Thornton]

The only advantages I see with the Enphase inverters are decreased effects
of shading and the ability to monitor each module.  Other than that, I would
anticipate increased installation time and obvious difficulties servicing
the inverters.

Another problem that is even more basic is the 175 watt limitation, when so 
many popular panels are now in the 180 to 220 watt range, and getting larger

all the time.
