... but you are pushing it way too hard imo...
...you're pushing your agenda hard too...

Thanks for not taking it further, I like hearing about microinverters and would hate to see the thread closed by moderators or any members kicked off the forums.
If you think they're skirting the line and just want to let them know about the forum rules then email them privately. If you suspect they're over the line please click the report button and let the moderators decide.
But honestly, any public accusation/warning a member just makes you look bad and creates hard feelings with the other party. That leads to drama and because everyone is entitled to defend themselves it frequently escalates. Most of us aren't here for the drama, we just want to hear about cool things, experiments folks have done, or to help out where we can.
Think of this thread as "what I learned while messing with Hoymiles" and it makes sense that the OP is talking A LOT about Hoymiles microinverter.
We all talk about what we know.
I'm sure folks are more than tired of me talking about how great Enphase tech support is or the superiority of microinverters over string inverters. I'm sure it seems like I'm pushing Enphase too, but that's only because I can't talk about experiences with Sol-Arc, SolarEdge, SMA, etc. That doesn't mean I'm in Enphase's pocket, I do like their products, but also dislike the price.
Good stuff is made in China. In fact, Enphase's microinverters are made in
China & Mexico. The difference is
Cheap Vs.
Quality. Cheap doesn't mean bad, but it probably isn't going to mean UL compliance, good QA, or great tech support. While there are great companies there, China also suffers in that there are few consumer protections making a ripe environment for unscrupulous business practices.
Caveat emptor.
