[RE-wrenches] Clipping

Hi Jesse and Wrenches,

One thing that should be understood about the production readings from a DC
optimizer system is that the module level readings are in DC.  That is the
production before being converted to AC, and does not account for the
losses of the inverter.  It isn't really an apples to apples comparison to
equate that production reading to the 225watt max output of the Enphase
M215.

“Don’t get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It’s just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there’s an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it’s wireless! .”

- William McDonough
