The 215-series solar micro-inverter features improved efficiency, higher power rating, and a 25-year limited warranty. The small 6.8 x 6.45 x 1.0-in. unit achieves a weighted power conversion efficiency of 96%. The module puts out a reliable 215 W of 208 or 240 Vac, with a power factor of better than 0.95.
Grid-tied micro-inverters, like the 215, connect to individual solar panels and then multiple inverters output to a central trunk. They can provide up to 25% more energy output than arrays with a single inverter by optimizing for each panels condition. The 215 series has a new, easy connect and wiring system for quick installation. The unit also features the Envoy power-line communications/network gateway and Enlighten monitoring and analysis software. (From $129 to $151 ea/to installers — available now.)
