I am looking at installing this as DIY project and have initiated my process to get the Town approval although I have many questions which I would appreciate your input on.

- Signature solar does not sell Enphase. Do you have any good reliable recommendations where to buy this.
- I am looking at ground mount and can only fit 16 panels in 4×4 layout. So to maximize my input I am looking at Aptos 440 W bifacial. How much panels can be combined together max? I was thinking about 8 and then have two strings going to the combiner box.
- I am only interested in grid tie because the battery is very expensive. So I do not see the need to go for IQ8 but then the IQ7 is not rated for 440 bifacial. I see there is IQ7x but that is more expensive than iQ8A. any recommendations here?
- If I get IQ8 then do I need to get the new boxes and other gadgets that are expensive or can I just get the combiner box if I am not interested in battery backup option.
