[RE-wrenches] SMA alternative?

[Hilton Dier]

Esteemed Wrenches,

I am a long time fan and installer of SMA string inverters. I have a project right now which is a ground mounted array of 12 Trina 380s, so just over 4.5 kW. 

SMA inverters seem to be unavailable for the foreseeable future. What would be your recommendations for an alternative? I know it’s unfashionable, but I’m not a fan of micro inverters. 

Thanks,
