Hi all. I've been around this board for a few months and have learned quite a bit about the competing technologies and such. I see some users that love the SE Optimizer product, and some that don't really like it. The normal fears being extra complications, costs, and the worry about the electronics being on the roof. I can understand some of these fears, but no so much with being on the roof.
Yeah, roofs are hot. But so is the environment under a car's hood, on a motherboard, inside of an oven, etc. There are plenty of hot man made environments where electronics have been built to withstand the conditions perform just fine for decades. Here in California they often place heater and A/C units on roof tops as well. Inside which is filled with all sorts of electronic parts.
I was just wondering since they have been mass producing optimizers since 2010 if any repair persons have seen large number of units failing? Is the issue a hypothetical myth? Six years is not 25, but there are some really punishing areas of the country that would see the first signs of heat fatigue before most of the US.
Thanks!
