    From my neighbors experience:

    a) EPEver terminals strip-out easy - Caution, DO NOT over tighten…Had to repurchase because manufacturer denied warranty claim.
    b) Customer support ranks poor if not non-existent.
    c) from my own perspective, initial programming seemed to be an exercise in utter frustration.

    Just saying as a neighbor-observer…

    Thanks. I'll have to investigate more carefully. Or bite the bullet and use Victron.

    I see the newer panels have 12 busbars for higher efficiency, eg

    ouch they are expensive, but I guess if they are on the island they are conventiant for you. I got mine from Black sheep solar out of saskatuan but I did a pick up at a distrubituer in vancouver to save the shipping.
