Solis 0.7kW mini - minimum wattage input?

[saint]

We have a few small PV installs to do. The developer needs 0.5kW/ two panels on each roof. To keep it simple we are looking at putting in 0.7kW Solis mini inverters. They have a low start up voltage of 60v. 0.5kW is too low for this inverter according to Segens designer but 2x 275w and 2x300w seems to work. However, i'm unsure if this is correct because the voltage would be similar. Has anyone else used these inverters and if so can you confirm the lowest wattage they will take?
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this. I'm not sure how it turned out:

You might be better off with an APS microinverter. Ask Tom @ Midsummer as they sell both Solis and APS.

If you go with Solis, look for 72 or 96 cell panels. You might find a higher voltage. How about the over-size Canadian Solar polys from Segen?

We've used a Solis 1.0 with 4 panels and it works fine.

Would be interesting to know what came of that Solis problem. but i have spoken to Sandy about a monitoring issue and he was very helpful.
I have used Solaredge rather than microinverters but i have looked at Enphase but it seems you need to connect their gateway thingy to the web on site before the system will work. Not very ideal for a new build install where there may not be any internet for some time after the install is completed. Not heard of APS i'll look them up.
thanks for your reply.
