This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I live in MD and work in solar by pfightingirish

My company used to install residential and now we only focus on commercial. We used to install both enphase microinverters and solaredge with optimizers. Both do essentially the same thing (maximize production of each module) and both have had their problems in the past with failures. I have enphase installed on my house and have been happy so far.

Just as important to the return on your investment is how are you financing? Outright purchase provides the greatest return, if you don’t have cash go with loan over ppa.

Finally which company do you trust will be there to stand behind its warranties. Which company provides better workmanship? Check out solarreviews.com.

I believe you are making the right decision to go solar - good luck on deciding which company!
