Solar PV - Inverter help needed please

Hi
I'm due to have my Solar PV system installed in about 10 days time, I've just been advised that the Fronius IG30 inverter I was quoted for isn't available and they will be installing a Diehl 2100S inverter instead.
It is a 2.2Kwp system that I'm having installed.
Fronius is a brand I've sen recommended, on here and elsewhere, but I know nothing about Diehl.
Can anyone who knows about inverters advise me whether this an acceptable/comparable replacement please?
Thank you

Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

Hi
Thanks for your reply
I've actually managed to get this sorted now, after alot of 'discussion' I'm getting a Fronius IG20 (which, according to Fronius, will actually be better for me than the IG30 would have been!)Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endQuidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur0 -
IG30 bit big for 2.2kwp
IG20 better 1.8 to 2.7kwp
still quite poor effciency @ 94% max
depends on modules used
better and more effcient newer inverters to 96/97% these days
higher effciency modules and inverters
quicker payback and higher FITs
but there are global shortages on pv inverters for last year
fronius recalled 10,000 this year
best ask for a warranty extension
