[RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

[wes kennedy]

This is why string inverters continue to be the most future proof design strategy. Yes micro's eliminate design complexity (so what), and offer more granular monitoring, but at what cost? I prefer to sleep at night.

WrenchesI agree that enphase is not really playing fair but how many micro inverter manufactures have failed and are no longer even around. Ive been there when its all out of pocket and l know some of you have too and you have to fix it all and its all on you. l have megs of enphase both in California and Hawaii so jumping ship for another brand is to late even if l wanted to. Im all in with enphase and hope there RMA issues get better.Remember the grass is NOT always greener.Jerry

 I see LG is offering panels with their own micro-inverter. I bet they have an excellent product warranty. I have been testing their RESU-10 home energy battery for a year now and it is rock solid. Built to last!
