Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

You guys should really cut one of those swelled up ones and share the photos with us :) Benn Kilburn SkyFire Energy Inc. 780-906-7807 > On Sep 14, 2016, at 11:14 AM, Jerry Shafer wrote: > > The 190's had component issues which case them to balloon up > Jerry > >

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

I will look back and see if I have any pictures of excessively damaged microinverters. Like the others, we had to send them all back for dissection. The Enphase engineering team that I handled my cases and actually came out to do on site assessments told me the problems were due to corrosion

The 190's had component issues which case them to balloon up Jerry On Sep 14, 2016 10:11 AM, "William Miller" wrote: > Colleagues: > > We have M190s fail in beach installations. Some have had the cases swell > up like there is a tumor inside. I haven't cut them open to

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

Colleagues: We have M190s fail in beach installations. Some have had the cases swell up like there is a tumor inside. I haven't cut them open to see what's inside because they need to go back to manufacturer. William > On Sep 14, 2016, at 9:32 AM, Jerry Shafer

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

Mike I also work near the ocean, its all around me here in Hawaii, we have had the 190's fail but not to environmental conditions and very few issues with 215's. Do you have any pics of the damage as l have seen very little salt issues. Jerry On Sep 13, 2016 9:11 PM, "Mike Nelson"

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

Inside the micros, stainless steel through bolt and aluminum case don't work well together and allow corrosion into the interior of the circuitry, right past the conformal coating. I've also seen them short circuit and blacken the back of the PV module directly above them, sounds like a

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

Hi mike, question. Are you saying the corrosion has been the source of the failures? Is this wire connection or actually inside the micro? Jay Peltz power > On Sep 13, 2016, at 6:44 PM, Mike Nelson wrote: > > I've had so many Enphase failures it's kind of

Re: [RE-wrenches] micro-inverters

I've had so many Enphase failures it's kind of ridiculous. We install most of our systems near the ocean so corrosion has played a big factor. The newer micro inverters are holding a much better, 215 and 250's. I have learned over the years that SMA makes the best product, and I mostly stick
