Another option would be to compensate the customer for lost production
until you're out there to replace a second inverter. You can credit this
against Jason's diagnostic fee idea and/or the $150/unit reimbursement
from Enphase. Each unit down is about $30-60/year depending on location.

I suspect that the early failure rate on the M215 is tiny next to the M190.
Most of the M190's that did have failure problems early on failed very soon
after installation in my experience. After the initial "duds" died, the
failures on most M190 systems dropped off. I'm not seeing a linear failure

I have found that the home owner's target system price point has stayed the
same over the years even as prices have fell. So our systems have just gotten
bigger to cover more of their loads
Since we stopped using micro-inverters due to the high failure rate, network
problems, difficultly in replacement – I've been using the power-one inverters
a bunch because the dual channels solve most of tricky issues like different
roof aspects, shading, and uneven strings.
