    Why would anyone ever pair Sunpower with Enphase? The voltage isn't right... Enphase takes 48 V max, and the lowest SP panel I've seen has a 50.9 Voc. Even if you ignored that, clipping would be something nasty on the 327+ W panels of the last two generations. Anyone selling Sunpower+Enphase is trying to steal your money.

    Genesmasher: I'm at the start of pricing phase and received 2 proposals so far. Would you like to exchange proposal info?

    Would you kindly share type/brand/model of panels, inverter type/model & (optimizer/micro-inverter model)? This will help better understanding the great price got.

    Because of high voltage in cold climates, SunPower / Enphase is a combo that won't work in where temperatures can fall below -20C in winter. Instead, I went with ABB 0.25 micros that, with a little shopping around, ended up costing a lot less than the M250's.

    If a deal can be found on discontinued SunPower gear; I'd go for it. FWIW, I took a chance on 42 used SunPower E18 all-black panels on Craigslist at $0.44/w. They work great and look awesome.

    Even at $3.35 per watt this puts my 8.5 kw system yielding a cost of 28475 , now take off the federal 30% rebate that gives a $20000 cost. The interest (at 3%) on $20000 would be $600, yielding a savings of about $600 per year, giving a payback period of 33 years, 8 years beyond the best warranty

    I was quoted a cost of $16,000 for my 8.5kw system, I am now wondering how this is possible.....

    I have seen prices like that.
    But have always been for end of life panels ( discontinued panels not used)
