Enphase microinverters can be a strong choice when installer support, warranty pathways and system design align with your roof and tariff. Ask for CEC listing proof and local service capability.
SolarEdge optimisers + inverter may win on price, features or ecosystem fit. Compare usable specs and commissioning quality — not brochure peak numbers alone.
Usable performance, warranty claims experience in Australia, monitoring, hybrid/battery readiness, and installer familiarity. Export limits and self-consumption still dominate bill outcomes.
