What are you all seeing as far as failure rates for the Enphase M215s? I've got a contractor friend on O'ahu who installed a 60-mod system (using the M215s) and has had failures with nine of the buggers, leading to a rather unhappy homeowner. While my contractor friend has had some level of

The M190 had a first year failure rate far higher than the M215, of which we have only swapped a couple. I can echo your frustration with the M190, especially the 208V model. Based on the M215 performance so far, we are happy to continue selling Enphase. We have some sites that have had multiple s

I'm wondering how many of you have had Enphase failures in the field. Basically every one of our sites with M175 or M190 has seen failures. Most of those are one their second wave of replacements. It appears these have a linear failure rate in the field, and we have to replace 2 to 3 inverters a
