Poor Quality
After all the work to climb a tall roof and install this, it won't turn. The cheap motor gear box just jerks the antenna without actually turning it. The ability to rotate it without having to climb a roof was the whole reason to change my antenna to this one but now I have nothing but regrets. My money and my time is lost and now I'm stuck with it as it is far too much work and risk to try to replace it with another. Spend the extra 10$ and get a good one as this one is very poorly built.

Only one thing though
1 of 1 found this helpful These are excellent inverters and a breeze for DIY installers. The only thing besides understanding what VOC is and making sure it and max wattage are within parameters is one last detail that these sellers fail to mention. This inverter will shut down if the ambient temperature gets around 100F degrees, then turn back on after it cools to 92F or so. Unfortunately, when installed on most roofs in USA, that means that you will get nothing during the peak power times of the day. I live in Oregon and even having the inverter underneath the panels as standard installs go, they still shut down from noon till 5pm in the summer. My solution was to add MC4 extension cables to all four panels so the inverter could be mounted on a shady wall. I also solved the roof mount by adding clip fans on timers that blow on the inverter during these times. I own several of these units. Some have different brand names but they are all clearly made by the same factory. I guess that's what you get for a fan less design. My other inverters all have internal fans so they never shut down. I suppose it's easier to replace a clip fan though when the bearings eventually fail.

Best price, good quality
As an installer, I'm always looking for good value so I can keep my prices low as well. DIY cables tend to have higher fail rates and poor connections that can come loose over time. I always use only factory made cables and have never had an issue with the ones I bought from Temco. Also the arrival time for me is always within 3 days. They even took the time to read the notes when I wanted black cables but the listing was only for red ones. They made them with the black wire and they arrived just as fast. I also appreciate that they offer lighter gauge cables as most MC4 cables use heavy gauge for maximum current flow. This is proper for string arrays but many of the installs I do these days use micro-inverters that only accept one panel per input. In this case, smaller gauge cables are better as there are so many cables required for an install and it allows more to fit in a single conduit. The extra size gauge would only increase cost and size with no measurable advantage in performance unless maybe traveling great distances. Hopefully these cable manufacturers realize this as micro-inverters seem to be dominating the marketplace and have the obvious advantage of group redundancy, fan-less design, thermal safety, water resistance, and ease of installation over the traditional string array inverters.
