Hi Bill, et al,<br>
<br>
Thanks for pointing out there are generational differences with
the SolarBridge inverters. <br>
<br>
In one small effort to unmask some of the marketing drivel, as of
earlier this month, there were seven different module
manufacturers using some form of SolarBridge inverter. Unfortunate
also that SPI booth personnel at SolarBridge did not acknowledge
(or know) of differences in their product lineage, similarly
unfortunate at least one module manufacturer booth person (VP
sales) did not know the distinction between microinverter and AC
modules.<br>
<br>
For what show participation costs exhibitors and attendees alike,
less fluff (and more accurate information) would be my preference.<br>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Jason,
If the pictures of the E18 & 19 are accurate, and from
my conversations with the different suppliers that include
SolarBridge inverters, several of these use the original
Pantheon I instead of the updated Pantheon II model.
Apparently there are differences in the locking clip in the
module connectors and perhaps some problems with inverter
data speed between the models. I think SolarBridge looks
promising and one of the great advantages of micros is the
fine resolution troubleshooting. In locating Enphase under
an array, it makes sense to locate as many under as few
modules as possible in the event of call backs….so you don’t
have to flip the card in the middle of the deck. With AC
modules, the inverters is going to be evenly distributed
under the whole array. So you are way more likely to be
crawling out there to the middle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I guess that means no more SunPower E18/230 with Enphase.
That sucks - it was a good premium product offering for
us. Anyone know if the SMA or other microinverters are
