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.

Keith: 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

According to my discussions with Enphase on this subject, the M215 can actually put out 225 watts continuous. Marv? Please confirm. marco 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

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

Actually, the max rating of the M190 is 190W. The max possible is 199W. For the M215 it is 215W and 225W respectively I was told. Highlight: 25 year warranty! Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org]
