[RE-wrenches] Solar Edge Experience?

[Max Balchowsky]

We've been using Solar Edge for quite a while now, very impressed. I like the flexibility of design with out having to use micro inverters…..

Hi Bill,
 
That was my take up until recently. However, we’ve had lots of Enphase failures with M190s and M210s (to Enphase’s credit, no failures yet with M215s and M250s) so I’m hesitant to put more and more micros up on the roof. Plus, the price starts to beat micros around a system size of 4+ kW. We’re seeing a lot of competitors offer Solar Edge in the Bay Area including Solar City so there must be some good reasons to use them. In my mind, reliability is of utmost importance and I don’t have any firsthand knowledge on how the Solar Edge systems are working. I think they’ve only been in the US for about 3 years.
 
Best, August

August, it’s hard for me to see the point if you get all those benefits (long strings, module level tracking and monitoring, design flexibility) for the same price with micros.

Hi Wrenches,
 
I have been watching Solar Edge for a while now and am curious if other wrenches have been using their product and what they think about it. I’m generally hesitant to adopt new technology until it has a good track record but I have to admit that I’m seeing some serious benefits in the Solar Edge system – long strings, module level tracking and monitoring, design flexibility, etc. Can folks who have tried their product let me know what you think and if you’ve had any failures?
