10 pcs. - Enphase Grid Tie Solar Micro Inverter
10 inverters complete with "Cable End" to terminate to the end of the line. Daisy chain and twist lock together between inverters allowing for easier installation. No additional expensive trunk cables are required for connection to the next inverter in the branch! Just push the cable connector into the next inverter and twist. The AC connection between the inverters is now complete! Connect up to 15 inverters per branch!
The male and female locking MC4 solar connectors from the inverter simply connect to the MC4 connectors on the output cables from your solar panel.
Microinverters can have advantages over large string inverters. Primarily allowing more output from your solar panel array under partial shading conditions.

Works with 72- and 84-cell modules. Can be used with other modules. It is best if the Vmp is above 31 volts. Such as with some high-efficiency modules such as Sunpower, Sanyo, Panasonic, Selaivo... and even some high-efficiency 60 cell modules such as LG, Winaico, and some others in the 280W Plus range. Check the module spec sheet for verification.
Worried about over powering Enphase inverters with panels rated at higher wattage than specified? See this Enphase tech brief describing the cost benefits of intentionally over powering Enphase inverters. Search for "Enphase_White_Paper_Module_Rightsizing.pdf"
The Bottom line is that, in most environments, Enphase inverters are justified in being over powered by as much as 140% with very small % overall saturation clipping losses. This means, as long as the panel is within the specified voltage range, an M215 inverter can be paired with a solar panel rated as high as 300 watts and an M190 inverter can be paired with a solar panel rated as high as 260 watts.
Note: This inverter works with most 72 cell and 84 cell solar panels within the suggested voltage specifications (above). For more information on compatibility and installation see the following link to the manufacturer website : Search for "Enphase_M190_M210_Installation_Manual.pdf"
