We installed 11.5 kW of the AUO/BenQ AC modules with SolarBridge inverters in November 2011. The system is performing impressively well! We chose this product because the installation includes both south-facing and east-facing roof surfaces, and there are a few trees that have a branch in the way at some times of year. The site is right on the St. Croix River in Minnesota.
Initially I was unfamiliar with AUO, but have since learned it is a very bankable company with a long history in the electronics industry. I think they co-own the cell manufacturing plant with Sun Power. At the time the product seemed not quite ready for market, but it's been a full year and they are definitely ready now. SolarBridge was fantastic with their tech support, and they have a new monitoring interface that we saw at SPI 2012, very promising. This customer is having us back in a few weeks to install 3.5 kW more on his west-facing roof, and we're going to add a few to our home/office. I really like that the micro-inverter is intentionally paired with the module, because it removes the potential 'clipping' concern. Keep Shining!
