One 45 kw, so roughly 15 ac branch circuits, one 26 kw, roughly 10 branch
circuits, roof roughly 20 degree slope on both.

Hi Kirk,
First, a couple of questions:
1) what is "larger Enphase systems" (number of load centers) and
2) what roof angle?
Now, if you buy into the hype that, with Enphase, shading is a minor detail,
you may want to consider using something like one or more cupola(s) to mount
the standard load centers upright (and prettier). An AC version of the
Outback combiner would be, IMHO, definitely preferable.
Best wishes,

Hello,
I am about to start some larger Enphase systems, and I'm wondering if there
is an AC combiner out there (outdoor load center, etc) that is listed to be
mounted at an angle(meaning roof angle), ala the Outback DC combiner boxes.
I want several combiner / discos on the roof and it won't look very pretty
to have them mounted vertically. Thanks.
