[QUOTE="binky, post: 399215, member: 490"] you're installer is a bodger. It is a requirement of MCS standards, and just general good practice to use a proper entry into the roof designed for that purpose. This can take the form of a standard roof vent or something like Dektite products, which is my favourite. Solaredge - waste of money unless you have serious shading issues, minor shading can be overcme with SMA inverter. THis means no potentially unreliable equipment is located on the roof. As for 99% of inverters in attics, this may be true due to sheer laziness. Unless the array totally shades the roof, the attic will get hot in summer, this means the inverter becomes less efficient as it can't dissipate heat so effectively, and ultimately will fail earlier - you don't go jogging in a coat!
