I would be interested in hearing about other wrenches' observed Enphase failure rates. Since 2010 we've installed 1347 total Enphase units with an overall failure rate of 3.27% Our breakdown is as follows: - M190 - 19/362 = 5.25% failed - M210 - 21/545 = 3.85% failed - D380 - 3/101 =

William, I am in what you would call a coastal environment in Southwest Florida. Fronius blamed some of the repeated inverter failure sites on the proximity to the coast, although we have many installations that are closer to the coast is distance, but have not seen the same failure rate. It

BobO: I too was hesitant to install micro inverters for the reasons you cite: why should I have to go on a roof to replace electronics? and, should electronic components even be on a roof? I am converted. We have had a few failures, but a manageable percentage. It does suck to go on the

Hello Bill, I'm curious to know what the array STC DC rating to Fronius inverter AC rating you typically had? Thanks. Peter Talmage --- On Tue, 5/7/13, William Miller will...@millersolar.com wrote: From: William Miller will...@millersolar.com Subject: [RE-wrenches] Enphase / Inverter failures
