my nem appication says "pending AHJ inspection" so I guess I am solid for 2.0 nem?

How long have you had them and do they work well in cloudy days?

I am not qualified to qualify a panel but I am considering buying 22 of these for my home install diy, but would anyone recommend these or have used these? I am going to pair them with TIGO optimizers and a growatt 10kw hybrid inverter.

I found this: https://www.tigoenergy.com/post/tigo-welcomes-growatt-to-tigo-enhanced-program-with-newly-launched-xh-inverter I was looking online and there was a webpage I lost which mentioned the Tigo connects with the growatt app, but I must have premium tigo service ($20 a year I think) I am...

The growatt I plan on using has 4 mppt. So I could do 4 strings w/o optimizers, or 2 strings with optimizers. But panel level monitoring is interesting to me

On the product detail page for growatt 10kw hybrid inverter at renvu it states "WiFi + LAN Integrated Communication Module + Tigo Transmitter Integrated". Also, when you use renvus design and plan tool, when going with optimizer and string inverter setup, the growatt and tigo combination is...

I think I’ve decided to go with the Tigos and the growat 10kw. It will be 2 strings of 11 410w solarever panels. The permit plan guys say that the inspector won’t even look at the unpermitted addition and mostly concerned with electrical. I guess they will look at the whole thing and see it’s...

Assuming my setup with minimal shading and same orientation, how much more juice in % would a micro get vis a vis an optimizer?

Nem department says grandfathering is from the submission date. I thought it was from approval date. So that’s good. Also they say you can change the components due to shortages as long as the change is to a system of the same or less size.

I don't know but that's what I got from speaking directly with a person at the NEM dep. of SDGE. In their DIIS form they make you state the exact panel and inverter used. I think I will go with the TIGOs. I am not sure about the MPPT you mentioned. I honestly just don't have the time to look...

Im half way through the interconnect form and stuck at the choose your equipment section. I can't decide what I want. And once it's decided there is no backing out of it after april deadline.

True, in 20 yrs the technology will have advanced so much and maybe even nem 4.0 will happen and go back to the way it was, who knows what could happen. Now I’m bouncing back to micros… I could get them quite cheap on eBay. But I don’t know how compatible they are ( enphaze iq7+s ) with 400w...

I thought TIGO optimizers have mppt functionality?

So I've been busy, but I've found the plan and design tool over at renvu, and I find it quite alluring that it will all be put together for me. I am not sure how accurate it is but now I am considering just using optimizers, the TIGO ones, with 400w panels, and a string hybrid inverter, the...
