Grid Tie Micro Inverters

About

Enphase Grid-Tie Microinverter System A microinverter inverter converts the DC output from a single PV module into grid-compliant AC power and is meant to be located near the module. The Enphase Microinverter System simplifies design and installation by alleviating string-sizing constraints, and it optimizes the energy harvest of each module through independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT). An Enphase System consists of microinverters, Engage trunk cables (M215) the Envoy Communication Gateway, and the web-based Enlighten monitoring and analysis service. Through individualized MPPT, Enphase microinverters help realize the full energy potential of a PV array, mitigating the effects of shading, dust, debris, module mismatch, and thermal differences. With module-level-monitoring, performance issues can be traced to individual modules, expediting troubleshooting. Each PV module is connected directly to its own microinverter mounted on the racking underneath. The microinverter's AC wire harnesses are connected to form an AC branch circuit that leads to the AC utility distribution center. System safety is enhanced since all of the output wiring from the PV array is AC and no high-voltage DC is present once he AC power is shut down, removing that risk for maintenance personnel or firefighters. All Enphase Mincroinverter models are rated NEMA 6 and operate at full power in ambient temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to 65°C (149°F), are Listed to UL 1741 for the U.S. and Canada, and comply with IEEE1547, FCC Part 15 Class B CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 0-91, .4-04, and 107.1-01. Enphase Microinverters with Canadian content are available by special order. Enphase M215 Microinverters The M215 microinverter is comopatible with most 60-cell PV modules (up to 260 W) and works with 208 VAC three-phase or 240 VAC sincle-phase services. The M215 has automatic voltage sensing, but be sure to order the correct trunk cable depending on teh type of utility service you're connecting to. The max
