    Grid-Tie Reccomendations for 175W Suntech Panels

    Just acquired 4 175W Suntech panels (STP175S-24/Ab-1) and am looking for the best inverter(s) to use. The panels will not be connected, maybe 2 will be together; I will simply be mounting them over my windows. Would it be better to just get a micro inverter for each?

    Right now I am leaning towards Enphase 190W M190-72 micro inverters for each of the panels but am not sure about the rest of the wiring I would need. Is it possible to connect them to a home grid using a traditional grounded socket plug?

    No they cannot be plugged in. they are 240V and need to be properly hard wired into your house electrical system at the main box.

      Yes, use micro inverters since you only have 4 panels. Not sure what you mean when you say install them "over your windows". Please describe the location in more detail.
