[RE-wrenches] Enphase Application

[Mark Frye]

Jason,

Please note that I did not include "monitoring".  I did not include the
~$500 for web-based monitoring of the Enphase, only the EMU as required by
CSI, just as id did not include the cards and such needed to get the sting
inverters "on the web".

You can tack on all the extra costs you like. I am not in the business of
selling fancy monitoring systems.  My customers go out once a month and read
their inverter and PG&E meter and send the info to me by email. I generate a
performance report and send it back to them.  The report always shows actual
perforance vs. the projected perforance estimated at the time of sales.

But don't forget the string combiner/fusing box plus DC disconnect, plus
monitoring...I know it will lean towards Enphase by a good spread because I
did a price comparison for a number of array sizes, and string inverters
always were more. The difference was from $1000 to $5000 depending on system
size and increased as the system got larger.
