<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We
have experience with Solaredge. We installed a dozen or so last
year. We liked the product and features. We did have initial problems with
the inverter shutting down on virtually of the units we installed.
Solaredge sent us boards to swap out late last year and according to
Berdner the issue was understood and corrected. The problem seemed to be
isolated to certain regions and conditions like ours. Since then we have had no
issues. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

have benchmarked the product against Enphase and it outperformed in comparable
field conditions and equipment. I assume you know that Schott is out of the
solar business so Trina would probably be a better bet.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

who is trying to save some money by going with Trina modules instead of Schott
and SolarEdge instead of SMA but he's concerned about performance. I don't have
enough experience with either of these manufacturers to give him the peace of

but am having a hard time here. Anyone with good or bad experiences with either
Trina modules or SolarEdge inverters?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
