I think the thing that I still haven't seen mentioned, is printed on the
device itself, it's nameplate says 215 @.95 power Factor.
Which would mean, at unity it would be higher...
Another shining example of this company not telling the whole story in their
documentation.

It seems like the product tries to be everything to all mod manu's,
which is hard to do, at best.
Don't know if its a limitation in the electronics

in a home.

Her's my guess: Through the MPPT algorithm. The processor indicates near
maximum output, the MPPT impedance reduces to throttle back power production.
This is pure speculation, but I'm stickin' with it (untold told otherwise).
Throwing away power? Yes. If MPPT is not at maximum pow

The inverter should be current-limited on its output. The other Enphases
have a higher output power than rated (199 @ 190, 219 @ 210, if memory
serves from earlier list posts), so this may have a similar window.
215Wac max inverter output / 240V = 0.896
0.896 x 17 = 15.23A
15.23A x 1.25 < 20A s
Do the 215's output more than 215 Watts?

Hey gang
With the 215's on the scene and the tech literature on their website, they
state you can put up to 17 modules on a string.
Locally, I see folks throwing on 17-235 watt modules. Back of the napkin- 235
watts/240 volts = .97 amps.
17 x .97 = 16.49 amps on the 20 amp circuit. Pushing the

Anyone make sense out of this from the M215 spec sheet?
This model would seem to be able to accommodate a wider range of 200 series
mods out there as far as input DC voltage, which is good.

I'm wondering if the new M215 will also have some higher than nameplate max
continuous rating.
