Could you tell us about the metal conduit vs. Romex installation differences between the Enphase and SolarEdge?

It is a very simple install. With SolarEdge there is no trunk cable, which
definitely cuts down on wire management, especially using SnapNRack
mounting. Everything is MC4, so PV wire to a transition box, to the
inverter input(s) make it pretty simple. We almost always mount our
inverters outside, even when they are string inverters, and typically on
the north side of the home/business. My guys didn't like the changeover on
the first SolarEdge job, but it only took one to bring them around and
they are now converts.

Do you find that the installation takes longer because you're basically
installing a micro inverter and string inverter system at the same time?
I've also heard of AHJ's requiring that the inverter be mounted outside
because of the rapid shutdown disconnect attached to the inverter.

Thanks,
Will

Since I am having such a tough time even getting a call back, never mind
reimbursments, we have started very happily using SolarEdge with very
good
results so far. Communications, no problem, occasional tech support is
timely, we are seeing less than a 1% failure on optimizers. Ease and
safety of installation is excellent as well....and no, I don't work for
them :-)

We have allot of enphase and ya sometimes it a little hard to get them
on
the line but we always do. I request the re-inbursments, l dont ever
see
them as they end up in the admin office. We have looked at and used a
few
other mico-inverters at customer request but they all seem to go out
of
business so we are sticking to enphase for better or worse.

just a worthless ticket but no action and certainly no timely

Just to renew this line of conversation, I have been waiting for
several
call backs form Enphase, with no results, for the past three weeks. I
also
have warranty claims that go back four months+ that have not been
fulfilled. I will not sell any more Enphase, at all, until they
resolve
these communication and warranty issues.

It seems like we are talking about inverter and module customer
service
(good and bad) a lot lately.

Has anyone else noticed that Enphase seems to have stopped responding
to
tickets submitted via their website? Hold times are unacceptable, so
I
gave
up on that, but nobody gets back to you when you try to contact them
via
their web form for weeks, even about an existing RMA or ticket, and
they
no
longer let you update tickets by email. They are very helpful and
competent
if you get them on the phone, but who has time for that?!

I'm also waiting an unacceptable amount of time on a major module
manufacturer warranty claim right now. I'd love to see Home Power or
someone do a story on manufacturer responsiveness to dealers. Things
are
generally going down hill it seems.
