All my M215's are stable in the field. (100% of M190 and M380 replaced at Enphase's cost) Anyone using the M250? Any feedback? Mark On 2/8/2015 6:46 AM, Jason Szumlanski wrote: M215 failures? I've seen only 1 or 2 out of thousands. The M215 was a remarkable improvement over the M190. Are you

Hi folks-- We're planning a micro inverter install using 300W 72 cell modules for an area with a fair amount of shading. The choices we've found are ABB micro 0.3 or APS YC500A. Any stories to tell about either of these or another suggestion? Thanks for your time.  Bill Hennessy Berks Solar,

The ABB micros seem to be solid and easy to install. We have two sites with them with no issues. Unfortunately, the monitoring system sucks compared to Enphase and was far more difficult to set up. I really wish Enphase would come up with a good 72 cell option because we find ourselves competing

We've had two M250 failures, out of a couple thousand. Both failed in the first few weeks of operation. Our M215 experience is similar. Still doing M190 replacements just about every week, and a few whole-site swaps. Best, Louis Woofenden On 2/8/15 7:46 AM, Jason Szumlanski wrote: M215

Use a enphase with a autotransformer to get the 120 output to the grid, it works well and outback does and I think midnight sells the 4.0 k 120/240 trsnformer. Jerry On Feb 8, 2015 2:44 PM, Marco Mangelsdorf ma...@pvthawaii.com wrote: Thanks, Jerry. I should mentioned the need for the inverter
