I have seen the top performing contractor in my area sell behind a chiminy and under a tree, claiming 10% more using Enphase than unshaded.    Darryl --- On Sun, 10/10/10, Jamie Johnson wrote: From: Jamie Johnson Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase v. string inverter To: "RE-wrenches&q

HI Marco, I can speak to the last. I've got 2 enphase AC coupled to my outback offgrid system, and while I can't compare them to a standard grid system, I can say they don't come on before my MX-60 controllers do. jay peltz power On Oct 9, 2010, at 4:07 PM, Marco Mangelsdorf wrote: > Does

Does anyone know of any reports out there from a neutral, 3rd party which compares an Enphase array with an array using a string inverter with both arrays on the same unshaded surface? Some Enphase peddlers here are saying that the energy harvest from an Enphase system is going to be better sin
