Anybody using Micro Inverters on their solar?
Getting ready to install solar on the top of the Discovery. Doing lots of boondocking so I need the solar. Wow, prices droping like a rock! Supplier out here now offering (for 3 days) Suntech 275 watt high voltage panels for .69/watt.
Problem is, I'd have to purchase $600 midnight solar charge controller, a combiner box for the top of the rig and so on....
Just started reading up on Microinvertes and I'm now wondering if I should go the Micro Inverter route. What I really like is the idea of just plugging more panels in as I need them. Don't have to keep installing the exact same panels.
From what I understand the array with the microinvertes all plug into ONE cable thus elimating the combiner box (250.00) and the Midnight Solar Charge Controller ($600).
I'll stop here. Want to hear thoughts of others. The web site I'm looking at is located in MA. I can order the panels & then pick them up getting past the EXPENSIVE shipping charges.
