These seem like high quality modules and kind of a plug and play system if they need replacement or additional modules down the road but they are a brand new product with no track record that can find. Thought maybe someone on this board would have experience with them in the last few months. If so, let me know what you think. Thanks!

I haven't seen anything on these in the forums since your thread a couple months ago. I'd still go for the standard panels (no microinverter) with SolarEdge, if it was my money being spent.CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozx -
I was going to post about these panels. I'm surprised there is not much about these panels in the forum, or maybe I'm not searching properly.
300 watt panels with built in 300 watt inverter mean no clipping, perhaps an extra .1-.2 kw per day each panel. The installer I asked said the biggest negative is that if the inverter goes bad the whole panel needs to be taken down for warranty, plus they are 10% more expensive than an alternative LG panel + enphase combo.
For the warranty risk, I see the LG brand strength as a fair offset.Comment

I did a quick search and found this thread:
LG is a pretty well known company in solar, so they aren't producing junk. I'm not sure who makes their microinverter, it seems like it may be there own.Comment

The problem with the LG AC solar module is that LG only warrants the micro inverter for 10 years.
If you look at the warranty, LG warranties the DC power production for 25 years, but only warranties the inverter for 10 years.
What happens if the "built-in" micro inverter fails after 10 years? It doesn't look like LG sells the micro inverter separately, so you might have to replace the entire module.Comment
