            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Have a client that is grid connected (not
            my usual client) and looking to do solar without back up. 
            Has shading issues so I&#39;m thinking micros would work best
            for this application, plus take care of rapid shut down
            without needing extra devices/wiring.  Problem is I have not
            ever installed micros.<br>
            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Any recommendations on brands /models that
            have been reliable? Decent tech support?  Customer just
            wants something that works and is relatively simple to
            navigate the online monitoring.  Probably 4-5 kW so not a
            huge system.<br>
            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
            &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!<br>
