Before You Decide
Checks that matter before price.
- Match rated power and MPPT layout to the roof, not just the headline inverter size.
- Check whether battery-ready really means compatible with the battery path you want.
- Look at backup behavior early, because it can change wiring and quote complexity.
- Decide whether the vendor app is enough or whether local data access matters later.
