Hi Benn,<br><br>I manage the content on Enphase's Racking Compatibility List and WEEB List, and have worked with the engineers from Wiley (now Burndy.) We have tested the Enphase microinverters with multiple configurations of WEEBs and racking types, and the ground is adequate with 3 of the 4 tabs making contact between the microinverter and rail.<br>
<br>The Conergy SunTop / CMC / M215 is not the only pairing where this occurs; it occurs with most pairings.<br><br>Don't worry about this one. It is fine. No additional steps should be taken during the installation process to try and prevent this.<br>
<br>What is more important is using a 1-1/2" fender washer to spread out the clamping force applied to the lid of the M215 microinverters.<br><br>Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or concerns (my contact info is below.)<br>

Otherwise there is only contact between 3 of the 4 teeth on the weeb clip.</div>
<div>It seems to me that the inverter needs to be installed on the opposite side of the rail that the roof attachment mounting quickstone slot is located. This is a pretty important piece of info to know BEFORE mounting the rails and then installing the engage cable, before you figure this detail out the hard way.</div>
<div>I don't see this detail mentioned in the Suntop, Enphase or Weeb install manuals, however in a related note I did come across this >>><a href="http://www.we-llc.com/WEEB_problems.html" target="_blank">Important Notes</a> about incompatibility with weebs and some modules. FYI.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For a while I was thinking it was a puzzle where I had to align the three pieces right to get them to fit properly, but try as I might I could only get it to work if the inverter was facing in one particular direction <b>and</b> located midway on the mounting bolt. </div>
<div>Has anyone else picked up on this?</div><div><br></div><div>benn</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </div><div><a href="http://www.daystarsolar.ca" target="_blank">www.daystarsolar.ca</a> * Ph: <a href="tel:780-906-7807" value="+17809067807" target="_blank">780-906-7807</a> </div>

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!
