[RE-wrenches] Lumos LSX250 modules

[Chris Worcester]

Hi August,

We are doing a simple portrait layout with them so the whips being short hopefully won’t be an issue, into our Enphase M250’s. The XTrack can help micro adjust the rails, I’d keep a calculator in my bags to do A² + B² = C² triangulation on the rails & the mounting bolt holes!

Hi Chris,

 

We have a complex 86 kW commercial job with Lumos 250s we’ve just kicked off. We have not installed them yet so I can’t offer a whole lot of advice except that the module leads won’t reach each other in landscape orientation so I’d recommend a standard portrait layout. The rails also need to line up perfectly since the modules mount with the four through-holes.

 

We will be landing our panels in about 3 weeks so I should know more then, feel free to ping me if you haven’t made your decision yet. 

 

Best,

 

August

Hello Fellow Wrenches,

I’m interested in using the Lumos frameless LSX250 Series 250 watt modules on an upcoming project. It’s a 9:12 pitch in deep snow country, and I like not having a frame to worry about getting scrubbed off.

I can see that wire management will be an issue upfront although their LSX rail system does provide for some of that. We are coupling these with Enphase M250 micro inverters, another wire management issue.  

We do have a set of 4 glass suction cups to be able to put a handle on them. What else??

They say their Canadian, with an office in Boulder, Co.

I am wondering if there are others installing these and what experiences, along with the pro’s and con’s are in advance, thanks!
