<DIV></DIV>Mark,
<DIV>I thought that the SolarEdge reduced the 'string' voltage to 1V per
unit/module, reducing the high DC voltage risk factor, until the inverter switch
was turned on?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>The fact that by hitting the "off" switch on the inverter will reduce
the potentially high DC voltage to 1V per unit/module could be an advantage from
a safety perspective (maintenance, firemen/utility workers)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Labor/time-wise, it is like installing both a microinverter system and a
string inverter system together, soooooo....</DIV>
