Wrenches In the am it will latch up but in the hotter days the inverter may not reconnect in the event of corrected outage resulting in no production through the rest of the day, if the VMPPT falls below minimum tracking you might not get much production due to fixed power settings. I have seen

I would say it’s likely okay, but to speak in the vernacular, “watch out sucka”. Vmp will be lower due to temperature coefficient, dirt on the panels and degradation over time. But, the inverter likely wakes up above the minimum Vmp as Voc has the voltage but the inverter can track below

The VOC will start the microinverter, but I would pair a 365W module with the IQ7+. It depends on where you are and how.much clipping there might be based on temp, orientation, etc. But, the IQ7+ is now in short supply, so you might want to look at the IQ8+. I have never had an issue with a

I'm concerned that a microinverter - module pair that has been specified by a supplier may not work. The maximum power voltage is very close to the minimum starting voltage. The Voc is adequately high. An Aptos DNA-120-MF26-365W is paired with an Enphase IQ 7A • Minimum start voltage of
