Re: [RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

2017-07-17 Thread penobscotsolar 
That is true. The problem is selling a product and saying you will provide
installer compensation, then withdrawing it when you feel like it is a
very short term "fix". They have alienated many installers who have been
installing and selling their product for many years and you'd think that
if they believed in their products and were improving them that they would
do the right thing for the long run. This feels to me like a shortsighted
corporate decision that ultimately leaves those who actually pushed their
products either looking for a better solution (there are quite a few these
days) or sucking it up and taking a loss for every replacement still out
there that needs to be.
Thanks Enphase.

FYI: 

All Enphase Micro's still have 25 year warranty, but labor reimbursement
which is not written into warranty document is for first two years. After
that we're on our own for labor to replace failed units. 
This is from our inside sales rep at Enphase.

Fellow Wrenches:

 

To make a long story short, we are done with Enphase.  They've refused to
reimburse us for labor after replacing a faulty inverter.  So, what
micro-inverters are you using successfully, and how is the tech support
behind it?

Re: [RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

2017-07-14 Thread William Dorsett 
SMA’s 240 and Enphase both use (or used) electrolytic capacitors, and the most 
recent optimizers advertise that they use thin film instead. Does anyone know 
if that is the fly in the ointment? If so surely it would be common knowledge 
among designers and the mistake would be corrected in for example, in the IQ 6.

Chris,

 

Took me a while to jump but this season we went to AP systems. About 33% less $ 
plus its two modules per inverter, thus cuts down the install labor and time. 
The only issue is a base 10 year warranty. Can pay for 20. I'm hoping enough of 
us installers complain and they'll bump it up to 25 to match the modules.

Howdy Wrenches,

First time poster.  Achieved NABCEP PV Pro just this year.  Only been in
the solar game 16 months.  Our company installs lots of SolarEdge DC
optimizer systems but not too many microinverters.  We have recently
embraced the new Outback Pro Harvest equipment (e.g HiQ) which has a
relatively solid history, and at only 5.75 kW might be a worthy alternate
to some microinverter systems.

This is why string inverters continue to be the most future proof design 
strategy. Yes micro's eliminate design complexity (so what), and offer more 
granular monitoring, but at what cost? I prefer to sleep at night.

Re: [RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

 I see LG is offering panels with their own micro-inverter. I bet they
have an excellent product warranty. I have been testing their RESU-10
home energy battery for a year now and it is rock solid. Built to last!

Re: [RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

2017-07-14 Thread Chris Schaefer 
Chris,

Took me a while to jump but this season we went to AP systems. About 33%
less $ plus its two modules per inverter, thus cuts down the install labor
and time. The only issue is a base 10 year warranty. Can pay for 20. I'm
hoping enough of us installers complain and they'll bump it up to 25 to
match the modules.

[RE-wrenches] No more Enphase

2017-07-14 Thread Chris Daum 
Fellow Wrenches:
 
To make a long story short, we are done with Enphase.  They've refused to
reimburse us for labor after replacing a faulty inverter.  So, what
micro-inverters are you using successfully, and how is the tech support
behind it?
 
Feel free to contact me offlist.
