Unfortunately, we have had to take quite a few to the local landfill, as we don't have dedicated e-waste here that I can find. I do think they separate it first because we have a waste to energy incinerator here. I'm not really sure how they deal with this type of waste, sadly. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jason</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 19, 2025, 6:31 PM Tyrone Houck <<a href="mailto:tyronehouck@gmail.com">tyronehouck@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Anybody got any recommendations for grid tied inverters especially ones that work with APSmart? I'm seeing a serious need for alternatives and not sure if I'm ready to go all in with enphase yet as I still have customers out there who got burnt from their early years and lack of compatability and solutions for their early generation systems. We've done solaredge for years and after the last round of outages here I've been doing service calls all week...noticing they aren't sending return labels for HDWave inverters anymore isn't a promising prospect..</p>
