to the punch. Who's been saying they were going to do this for a long long time but their product is still vaporware.

    Not the integrated product, but have tried the AUO modules. AUO is a huge Chinese company that makes many of the laptop LCD panels. They have recently entered the PV module business with what looks like a quality product. AUO is larger than Trina, and Suntech put together.
    I do not like the the idea though, of depending on a microinverter to last as long as the module. In this case, it looks like the microinverter may be replaceable, but in other proposals I've seen, they actually imbed the inverter into the back coating of the module so that you have to throw the whole thing out when the inverter fails.
