Their failure rate would be unacceptable in ANY industry.

I have had 3 Solaredge energy hub inverters installed on a 17kw solar array. I designed and installed the system myself. The system has been installed in 2021. My system has been working flawlessly since PTO. Either way, a Solaredge inverter replacement is very simple if one is needed. If an Enphase inverter fails you have to go up on the roof, remove the solar panel to replace an inverter. If a failed enphase inverter is in the middle of a large array, you would probably have to remove several solar panels to access it so it would be a much harder task. No matter what anyone says, These complex electronic inverters will all will eventually fail. I don't care what brand it is. I have a very hard time believing that any one will last 25 years so at sometime you would have to deal with an inverter replacement. I would be more concerned with the warranty from the installer. Will the installer still be in business when they are needed? If not You would be on the hook for at least the replacement install. In that case I would much rather have the inverter installed in the garage then on the roof. I.M.O.

I personally use 'Activated Alumina' for my 3d printing filaments, you can bake it at very high temperatures to drive off moisture safely and very effectively. Whether or not it also can hold up to 30% of its weight in water I've never personally tested. Thank you for sharing this video, very informative

I get the failure of high tech stuff, but for us it’s more about how long it take to get the replacement and installation. Morev than a few days and I’d be pissed. We have Enphase IQ8A Inverters and if one dies it’s no big deal. But our installer is local and has a great reputation. And we are adding two PW3s and given their built in Inverters a failure will shut my entire system down, so I’m hoping that when the inevitable happens I’m not screwed.

Commissioning the system again is where you need experienced people to re-install it.

You are lucky they did not send you a different version that is mounted differently....

My Solaredge inverter has been working great since 2018

Had my Solaredge inverter last 9 months. The failure rate is real.

Looks like this is a 5 minute job if someone isn’t jabbering in your ear nonstop. 😂

Its scenarios like this that home owners really need to pay attention by Enphase is the clear winner.

We're installing a lot of SE systems in The Netherlands and have almost no problems.. :)

I’ve had both Enphase & SolarEdge installed with very similar size systems, luckily no issues over a few years to speak of but I do get a lot more overall production out of the SolarEdge system. Paid itself off in 4yr, Enphase will be 5-6

Yup I'm getting mine replaced for the 2nd time

What a great tech. Honest!

My SE5000A (not the "wave") failed in September after 8 years. Luckily I have a good installer that took care of it within three weeks. When I choose Solaredge in 2015 the forums were negative on Enphase due to their failures back then but now I think they stepped up QC and are more reliable. If my SE5000 fails again out of warranty I'd have no problem doing it myself and I've easily replaced an optimizer myself too.

Tech has a heart

It's strange because the European Solar edge does not have this issue

Enphase is a little quirky with their CTs but their microinverters are top-notch quality.

I hope our 11400H holds up. We were suppose to have SMA’s Sunny Boys but the utility took it off the approved list.

I’ve had 5 panels go out, Csun 260watt, installed in 2015, sometimes it’s the panel, sometimes it’s the micro inverter. Enphase is good at sending out a new one,as they have access to your array, and can troubleshoot on their end. But it’s a dead duck if power goes out, I’m considering adding 36 more panels, but haven’t made up my mind yet if I’m gonna go optimizers yet
