<div class="yiv2141076340MsoNormal">For the first time, several weeks ago, after 40-50 Enphase
installs, we’ve come across at least two M210s that we putting out
consistently lower outputs than their immediate neighbors.</div>

<div class="yiv2141076340MsoNormal">We replaced the two mods first, which made no
difference. Then, in consultation with Enphase, replaced the M210s.
After replacing them, the power output was as it should be.</div>
