I have basically retired but keep up with solar as I help a lot of people with their systems and a few start up installers.
I hope that helps people understand my opinions on the equipment.
In case others have not noticed either I prefer OutBack over Schneider as well and personally have Outback on my home. I think they have some room to grow though and their new inverter systems look promising.
I am NOT a fan of Tigo, their tech is less effective in design and communication is strained with the equipment. I hope that SMA improves upon this soon and it looks like they have plans to do so. I think that the SolarEdge optimizer design is going to be the standard (MPPT with Buck/boost on optimizer ) and others will follow it moving forward. I know some here are not a fan of electronics on the PV module but I think with residential and small business it will be the standard (especially with the rapid shutdown requirements). I do NOT think SolarEdge will be the only game in town on that matter but they have a leading role now and are not standing still.
