[RE-wrenches] SunPower AC Modules non-Enphase

[August Goers]

Hi Jamie - the mods you included the spec sheet for are “E” series micros
which are in fact Enphase IQ7 micros. The Mods that Jason has are older,
with d series micros according to the part number he posted. SunPower
monitoring can be switched over to  Enphase for a fee as long as the mods
include Enphase micros.

It’s interesting to hear about the potential conflict with mid clamps and
Enphase invisimount clamps. As far as I know, we have used IronRidge with
SunPower InvisiMount frames many times with no issues. The IronRidge XR
rail manual specifies that they are compatible, see page 28:

Best, August
