We know they don't play nice with Tigo Optimizers. Wondering if a Midnight SPD might also look like a short to a classic when it clamps. only affected two of the four controllers. Two seemed to be un affected, one tripped off and reset, Not only did the last one let the smoke out, but went Dali in the process. Painted up the wall and everything.Suggestions?

<div>Will,</div><div>No problems with inspectors for us in MA, regarding rapid shutdown, since we recently switched to using SolarEdge central inverters with optimizer under each module, for roof mounted installs. </div><div>So far so good.
