    Older Fronius/Sunpower transformer inverters...

    Well my install went great on the garage, had the power company sign off today and put in the new meter... just wish it would stop raining.

    I'm now tempted to put 4kw on the roof and saw the older SunPower IG series fronius for about 40% of what the new Primo inverters run.

    By going this route what am I giving up besides maybe a % of efficency?

    Thanks guys,
    Aren

      Thanks Mike,

      Man I wish I would have seen the ad before I ordered my other system. I got a good deal on my inverter but could have saved another $1400 vs doing the older one.
