<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">My only experience is with SunPower's ACPV product (microinverters by SolarBridge). We've installed a handful of residential systems with mixed results. The first generation SolarBridge connectors don't always connect properly resulting in data loss and the locking clips break easily. The cabling is expensive but overall fairly straightforward to use. ACPV doesn't require a GEC (only equipment grounding) which is a big plus. The monitoring system through SunPower is a work in progress and has caused us a lot of service time.</span></p>
