[RE-wrenches] Using legacy modules on micro-inverters

[Jay Peltz]

Hi Bill

Is there a new M250?
Enphase shows the 250 at 48vdc max and states 60 cell only modules. 

That would be nice if it did both

You will probably power limit in the spring and fall, but the rest of the year you will probably do fine. The M250 has a higher operating voltage for 72-cell arrangements. The M215 is more suited for 60-cell modules and circuits.

It is my understanding that putting two of the PC4JFs in series is exactly one SQ-150.  I don’t have spec sheets for the PC4JFs but I am told they are an SP75.  If I use the data for the SP75 and multiply the voltages by two I get exactly a SQ-150P.
