[RE-wrenches] favortie micro inverters?

[Jason Szumlanski]

Enphase DOMINATES the space. I can't see any reason to go another
direction. Reliability and service just continues to improve.

If you are looking to save a few bucks, I think you will get what you pay
for. There isn't enough potential savings in a smaller brand to make it
worthwhile.
