From the company web site:
The Enecsys micro-inverter is first to use thin film capacitors instead of less reliable electrolytic capacitors and eliminates the use of opto-couplers, which are also known to have relatively poor reliability. Reliability has been verified through industry-standard accelerated life tests including temperature cycling to IEC61215, the same methodology used to evaluate solar PV modules. It is the only inverter specified to maintain full performance from -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C, and achieves peak efficiency of 94.1% over this temperature range.
The testing sounds good plus they are not using the electrolytic capacitors.
