[RE-wrenches] Unshaded micro-inverter performance

[Darryl Thayer]

Has anyone tried the EGauge ?  at www.eGauge.net 
It has more channels up to 12 current taps and 3 voltages?  and they said it has a lot more communication power than the TED and it appears they have some one answer the phone that knows something and can answer questions?

Darryl - We use Locus Energy as our third-party, production + demand monitoring and we've been pretty happy with them.  Not always the easiest thing to install and make look good but it does work!  A little pricier than TED though.

Hi I have such a set up but the monitoring would be the problem.  I think I would want a thing like a TED that works.

Is anyone aware of a third-party report or study on the performance of unshaded string inverter systems vs. unshaded micro-inverter systems?  Enphase claims a 5-25% increase, and uses a small-commercial SunEd install as evidence, but I'd like to see something beyond a single performance ratio.  It would be great to see something that incorporates multiple module types and their tolerances for voltage and current.  Could make a good SolarPro article...
