Solar PV Micro-Inverters

Due to several unique advantages, PV Microinverters are gaining in popularity. Microinverters are designed to operate on each PV module independently from one another, rather than operate on a string or strings of modules. Not only does this simplify solar energy system design and installation, but it also ensures that each module is always operating at peak performance. Since each panel is operating independently from one another, this prevents one lower performing module to bring down the performance of all of the other modules in the same series.

Enphase PV Microinverter
Enphase PV microinverters are designed for residential and commercial grid-tied solar applications. Each PV microinverter attaches to the racking beneath the solar module and performs DC to AC power conversion on a per-module basis. Microinverters are connected together in parallel AC branch circuits, and send performance information over the electrical wiring using powerline communications.

Enphase M215 PV Microinverter
The M215 is the world’s most efficient PV microinverter. Based on Enphase’s third generation technology, the M215 incorporates the latest innovations in power electronics and custom microchips to deliver:

• Higher efficiency
• More power
• Improved installation

Enphase M190 &M210 PV Microinverters
Connect to individual PV modules and perform maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and DC-to-AC power conversion. Both the M190 &M210 make installation simple with a built-in cable that connects PV microinverters end-to-end to form an AC branch circuit.

• Compatible with 60-, 72- and 84-cell modules
• Supports 240V single-phase and 208V three-phase applications
• CEC efficiency of 95% and 95.5%
• 15 year warranty
