But don't forget the string combiner/fusing box plus DC disconnect, plus monitoring...I know it will lean towards Enphase by a good spread because I did a price comparison for a number of array sizes, and string inverters always were more. The difference was from $1000 to $5000 depending on system size and increased as the system got larger.
