      This is what I have been repeatedly told as well. I pointed out that it doesn't make much since. if they are just going to do full inverter trade ins then why not allow other inverters, particularly the SE6000 and just give a little less credit.
      No good reply other than they hope to have the more direct upgrade path soon with DC disconnect box swaps.

        Production quoted for my roof (east facing only):
        21 - E20 - 327 w/SolarEdge = 10,140 kwh/yr or 845 kwh mo
        21 - E20 - 327-C-AC = 9,665 kwh/yr or 805 kwh mo

        generally speaking, why is efficiency better for SolarEdge Optimizers? (if correct). I don't know which specific model SolarEdge optimizer it is...

          SolarEdge equipment has a higher efficiency than almost all other inverters.

                I got quoted $1340 from Tandem Solar. Price on their webpage is slightly higher ($1347.50)

                  Plus installation and the finger point hassle between vendor and installer if things go wrong.

                    You keep calling them edge optimizers. The company name is SolarEdge and they are just optimizers or SolarEdge optimizers.

                    Enphase micro inverters run about $130 to $150 each. but you also have an expensive cable that is required so add another $20 each
                    for comparison-- I understand P400 optimizers are about $71 each..., and then I would need t buy SE7600.. not much price difference, but optimizers are more efficient (no shading).. tks

                      well to keep it all fair then wholesalesolar price on S280 is $160

                      and cable $25 per module

                      you will want an envoy at ~$500
