Thank you solarpete for recommended the website also. I forgot to share the system cost...it was at $3.53/W. Not the greatest price, but I really this installer's presentation, no rushing and pushing, took time to answer all of my questions and concerned.
Where do you guys install your SE inverter? I'm planing to mount the inverter inside my garage to give this electronic device a little tlc from the nature elements such as; direct sunlight, rain, temperature, and possible vandalism. Is there any issue with the temperature of the unit when you mounted inside the garage? Since there is less air circulation when the garage door is close most of the time?
Thank you much in advance for your feedbacks.Comment

Things are moving quite well since I signed. Last night, I got an approval from my HOA and tonight. I also recieved an onsite plan and the shading test. Will need to review, sign and ready for permittingComment

I hope that is a 3.8 kW inverter, or that your panels are split east and west on a steep roof. Otherwise, that is too much power for that inverter.CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozxComment

Thank you for the correction. It is a 3.8kW inverter SE3800A. Per their System Design Engineer. This inverter can handle a 4.75kW system size. A 12 panels array on the SW, Azimuth 235 deg, 20 deg tilt and a three panels array on the SE, Azimuth 145 deg, 20 deg tilt.Comment

That looks fine!CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozxComment

Yes... the max a 100 A panel can take is the 3.8 kW. I think you'll find that with the SW/SE orientation, you could probably add a couple more SE panels and still be OK.CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozxComment

5 kW SolarEdge is rated to produce 21 A (@240 Vac) continuous. 21 A requires at least 1.25 * 21 = 26.25 A of overcurrent protection... a 30 A breaker is typical.
In a conventional installation, the max supply to the MSP is 120% of the busbar rating.
20% of a 100 A panel (w/ 100 A main breaker) = 20 A max PV supply breaker.
20% of a 125 A panel (w/125 A main breaker) = 25 A max PV supply breaker
A 5 kW can go into a 125 A panel with a 100 A main breaker, or a 200 A panel.CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozxComment
