Hi Bill, et al,
Thanks for pointing out there are generational differences with the
SolarBridge inverters.
In one small effort to unmask some of the marketing drivel, as of
earlier this month, there were seven different module manufacturers
using some form of SolarBridge inverter. Unfortunate also that SPI booth
personnel at SolarBridge did not acknowledge (or know) of differences in
their product lineage, similarly unfortunate at least one module
manufacturer booth person (VP sales) did not know the distinction
between microinverter and AC modules.
For what show participation costs exhibitors and attendees alike, less
fluff (and more accurate information) would be my preference.

Jason, If the pictures of the E18 & 19 are accurate, and from my
conversations with the different suppliers that include SolarBridge
inverters, several of these use the original Pantheon I instead of the
updated Pantheon II model. Apparently there are differences in the
locking clip in the module connectors and perhaps some problems with
inverter data speed between the models. I think SolarBridge looks
promising and one of the great advantages of micros is the fine
resolution troubleshooting. In locating Enphase under an array, it
makes sense to locate as many under as few modules as possible in the
event of call backs....so you don't have to flip the card in the
middle of the deck. With AC modules, the inverters is going to be
evenly distributed under the whole array. So you are way more likely
to be crawling out there to the middle.

I haven't seen a full compatibility list on the new SMA-240US. At this
point technical downloads aren't available and the data that is
present on the website is still preliminary.
I do have a contact who is beta-testing the units and will see if he
has any more information or wants to comment.
Thanks-

Uh oh.... I guess that means no more SunPower E18/230 with Enphase.
That sucks - it was a good premium product offering for us. Anyone
know if the SMA or other microinverters are compatible with SunPower?

Uh oh....I just learned that our Enphase friends are no longer making
the M210s.
I need (50) of 'em @ 240V.
Anyone have any leads on that many, please? Please contact me off-list.
Thanks,
marco
