You left out a few things/features. Controllable export, like here in CA, I don't get the benefit of "Net" as we are on NEM3.0, so being able to set up as Zero Export is desirable to me to ensure my batteries are fully charge by the TOU 4pm - 10pm peak cost. Also, it wasn't discussed for your audience, but which will perform in a grid-down scenario and which don't. I think that's an important distinction. We use an EG4 15Kpv, and EG4 wasn't discussed, but ti is a CA certified hybrid inverter.

What about these Inverter,1200W Micro WVC-1200 and WVC-2400 inverters? I have one of each of them, both will only produce 25 percent of the input power. I have measured the input Voltage and amp on one panel, to be 8 amp at 40 voltage and both the WVC 1200 and 2400 inverter only produce 80 watts on the output. The 240 volt connection option does not work. Is there another grid tire inverter like this that actually work?

SMA, SolarEdge, Enphase, and Growatt are the inverters that we recommend and use.

Solar energy is a clean and renewable resource, so using a solar inverter helps to reduce your carbon footprint.

An inverter is a necessary component for solar production.

I assume you meant 43 years for SMA. 😁

We're better at solar than math. 😆Good catch.

​@@thesolarenergychannel Uh, you guys are meant to be electricians, right? I've never seen more math in a trade industry than in the electrical trade. BTW, SMA only build their products in Germany and haven't made anything in China since 2018. They source some components from Europe. Also, a very significant portion of SMA's historical market has been Off-Grid with the Sunny Island forming the core of that infrastructure. Regarding micro-inverters and panel optimisers, which conceptually do the same thing of panel-level processing rather than string-level processing, there is no need to use panel optimisation for installations that have clear exposure and relatively simple layouts of panel arrays. SMA even have anti-shade optimisation tech which will take care of a lot of shading issues. When to use panel optimisers? When shading is complex and intrusive across different parts of your arrays in different areas and at different times, and when a large roof is fiddly, fussy and complex. The last use case really comes down to the installer and their preference. The geek factor is cool but there are plenty of other features to geek out on, such as: - sub-10ms switchover of an entire house load from grid to pv/battery during a failure (true UPS) - dynamic balancing of energy supply to single phase loads across a 3-phase system - hybrid inverters that can handle all panels being DC Coupled, and - being capable of simultaneously supply grid, loads and battery without drawing from the battery in a DC Coupled topology The downside to SMA right now? They don't yet have 15, 20 and 25 kw 3-phase Hybrids.

@@gxtoast2221you are a CCP bot you can’t fool us don’t buy Chinese products people you will regret in the future.

You mentioned the manufacture, where is the manufacture located??? You state that it's all manufactured in the United States. Are you promising that there is no Chinese product in the unit 100%?? So there is no Chinese capacitors, relays...... SO, No Chinese product with 100% guarantee? I would like to see where the capacitors are made and the bridge rectifiers... Thank you for being so honest with your review. Is everything made in the US???

Enphase is manufacturing their microinverters in the US. We were at their factory in Arlington Texas a few weeks ago. That doesn't mean that all the components of a microinverter are made in the US.

@@thesolarenergychannel you say manufacture, but don't you mean assemble? General Motors is not a manufacturing plant. There are assembly plant. At least when General Motors buys the electrical component from China they don't state, it was made in the US, they just state that their car has been assembled in the US. So now, can you reply honestly, how many parts in each assembly has been manufactured in the United States?? And which ones?? Donald Trump wants to know!

So, the thumbnail was just clickbait? I didn’t see a single mention of an inverter to stay away from.
