Corey,
Thanks for sharing this helpful information. I decided to test M190s on
my shop in early 2010 before offering a new product. Until about 8 months
ago, when we started seeing engineers specify Enphase, I refused to
install more of the units. My breakdown in Midwest climes:
- M190 - 9/15
Here's the test report:

As comparison, here's the SMA micro:

I don't understand why the test voltage ranges seem to be shr
We still have clients who are patiently waiting for sma's 240. Perhaps their
commitment to battery based inverters will assure that it will also be
supported into power when the grid is down. And while it should be good when
it's out, at one their road shows they were still passing around a mock
Larry,
Interesting. Might be that whichever tech at Fronius handled your call totally
dropped the ball. Might be that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Either way,
score one for the Wrenches list! Good deal.

Larry,
I have only replaced a few Fronius inverters, but in those cases, they sent
a check without being asked.

Hi Wrenches,
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. I have a customer who self
installed 4 x 165w Solarworld panels a few years ago (2008). It's a 12v nom.
battery and the panels are wired in parallel. They've been working fine for
five years on a full time household using a 3024i Bl
Hi Ron,
The problem you describe is due to the firmware in very early versions of the
3024i. What would happen is once you hit the 30 amp current limiter, the
controller will switch the input to act like it is connected to a nominal 12
volt module, lowering the input voltage. Contact Blue Sky f
Ron,
It certainly sounds like a failed diode (there are two) to me. Usually they
fail open, but it isn't unheard of that they might just avalanche when they see
the current of the other PVs. Solarworld would probably replace it under
warranty IF you return the dead module to them. How the hell d
I'd echo Bob-O on this and also add that when diagnosing others' work
over the phone, it often is completely different issues when you get
there. You have no idea if for instance he's actually got the modules
wired correctly, he may have a loose connection(s) there, the parallels
may all be lo
