Once again Dan, you nail great information to this board. Key phrase: "used within its specification" Back in the '80's I replaced hundreds of small caps in very poorly designed 2-3 year old C-band satellite receivers, all damaged by excessive internal heat. Thanks for your input. Larry Crutc

e circuits in which the electrolytic capacitors are used are well designed, you have nothing to worry about. Electrolytic capacitors in a well-designed application will outlive all of us. Dan Lepinski Senior Engineer Exeltech From: Andrew Truitt Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] SolarEdge v Enphase T

Mark,I thought that the SolarEdge reduced the 'string' voltage to 1V per unit/module, reducing the high DC voltage risk factor, until the inverter switch was turned on? The fact that by hitting the "off" switch on the inverter will reduce the potentially high DC voltage to 1V per unit/module co
