    In the mean time I'm planning on adding a cooling fan to have some airflow thru the heatsink.

      I am sorry but this is morron logic. Yes they maximised the orduction if the undersized inverter but minimuzed producton of the real work horse, the PV. Most people would want to maximise the production of the PV by NOT choking it with an undersized inverter.

      It is like buying a race car and putting in a small 4 cylinder so you can maximise the production of the engine but of course you limited the overall speed and performance of the car.

        Butch I agree with you. But unfortunately I doubt they will be willing to upgrade or replace my inverter for the larger one. In the worst case I would have to buy the larger inverter myself and eat the cost. I can always sell the other one. What I need to figure out is if it would be cost effective and how long would it take to recover the investment of a second inverter.

          Yes I see your installer is not going to move forward. The cheapest solution for you is to purchase another inverter like the SE3000, and move one string to it.
          A new better installer should be able to do this adjustment for you. You would also need an AC combiner and most likely a line side tap.
          You would need either a line side tap or to derate your MSP main breaker with any added inverter capacity (either adding or upgrading to SE10000h).

          the SE3000H is ~$1.6k retail The SE10000H is about $3k retail

          Did the previous installer set up monitoring correctly with full layout and string information for you?
          What tabs do you have on https://monitoring.solaredge.com
          and what does the layout tab show?
