For people with PV, do you generally have 10kW system? What is your hardware setup, do you use micro inverter or string inverter with optimizers?

Back in the microFIT days in Ontario 10kW was the max you could have on a residential install and be part of that program. Not sure about the micro inverters or optimizers - my main inverter is a SolarEdge, which has been good, other than seeming to have a small fire/heat issue which meant that the circuit board had to be replaced - my system was down for several months in 2022 and of course it was from June-Oct when it was done. I like that that SolarEdge has an open API that you can access to pull data from the system.

Has anyone has trouble reaching their solar panel supplier to come remove the panel so that they can repair / redo their roof? Mine is not returning my emails or calls but the contract says I must contact them to remove the panels and then they will reinstall it after. Im at a lost on what to do now

Is the firm still around? Many firms went out of business after microFIT ended. If they are still around and have lots of demand they probably prefer doing new installs that are more profitable than taking your panels off and then putting them back on.

The firm is still around but no one picks up the phone or return emails. They got bought out a few years ago and seems like service level has declined. Company is rss solar and was owned by Pure Energies before
