Hi Marco. I wanted to follow up on your experience with the PowerOne
micros. Have there been improvements in the data monitoring system?
Would you say that it's reliable at this point? Any inverter failures at
this point? Any thoughts on the 10 year warranty vs. Enphase's 25 year
warranty? We're keen to find a micro-inverter solution for Sunpower
modules and are hoping to benefit from your field experience before we
take the leap.
Thanks for your help.

It's a solid product. The monitoring system works pretty well
although it's still something of a work in progress.
Allied Building on Sand Island there on O'ahu will be stocking them
most likely sometime in March-April.
From a number of performance perspectives, it appears to be a superior
product to Enphase for any module rated at 225 watts or higher. As in
zero possibility for clipping if you use the P1 250 for any module up
to 250 watts nameplate and P1 300 for any up to 80 cell mod up to 300
watts nameplate.
Contact me off-line and I can provide you with screen shots from the
monitoring program if you'd like.

Wrenchies,
Does anybody out there have any positive feed back on the PowerOne
micro inverters yet? We need to build a few systems with these here on
O'ahu due to the impossibility of finding any M-210 Enphase micros.
Mahalo in advance
