the price paid now may not be the highest of priorities in 10 - 15 years time
this system states the same. 25 years performance warranty. stipulates panels will be working to 80%.

it runs a cheaper growatt inverter. maybe not as good as sma but depending on who you talk to its about the same or better than samil. either way, it has 10yr warranty.

is a EM system really worth nearly double when these so called 'cheap' systems have the same sort of warranty?

sure, its made in china, when it comes to electronics, 99% are manufactured in china.
