Great video Jake. Here’s my issue: you’re comparing apples with rotton apples. PSC is the apple of Enphase. We’re re the apples of Fronius. Pick the installer, not the product! Another debate is due, this time at my place!

True vell described video, only partial loss of production is a big for micro. But, is the micro inverter failure rate 20 times less? I don't think so.

[@djfury7978]

Great video. Well detailed and well rounded in many aspects. But have the maths also been worked out in terms of initial cost of system vs each options. If an 8kW string systems is down for 2.5 weeks vs 1 week for an Enphase , will the income lost to client justify the initial cost difference. I haven’t done the maths but this should also maybe be presented to establish a more accurate of costs differences. Just my opinion.

Temperature effects of micro inverters on hot summer roofs. ???

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

What if you do not have internet.

[@garyk.4070]

Better off not bothering at all! Continue to Pay electricity supplier and avoid all the hassle with potential roof damage, panel failure etc etc and huge upfront costs that needs several years for payback if all goes well. Enphase have poor customer service/support and small businesses come and go.

Now do it on the basis of needing to replace 20 micros vs a single string inverter....... If it's outside of warranty, micos will cost a fortune by comparison.......You're only telling half the story.

[@TurreTuntematon]

20 micros will never fail, zero probability. Maybe max 1-2 at the same time. Don’t take my word for it but ask installers and you will see.

[@philbowden6371]

Thanks, but I've seen it happen a number of times over the years.... As I work in the industry myself... 😉

It's an interesting point Phil - thanks for watching our content. If you'd like to have a discussion about the strings vs micro or anything else solar related feel free to get in touch - we're always happy to talk to other experts in the industry.
Cheers
