Joel, On this one, my take is it probably should've been a larger commercial unit, since shading and orientation don't seem to be issues. But compared to Micro-, I would say its still way better this way, I just couldn't imagine having 3,000 inverters under that array. The way this one is set-up, the inverters are very service-able, and seem to be cleanly installed.

Hello Ryan, I wonder if SMA still thinks their 569 Sunny Boy system at the Mont-Cenis Academy is a good design?
