I said that the M215 does not match well, but if you have them on hand, they would still work. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Bill.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org</a> [<a href="mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org">mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>William Miller<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, September 26, 2013 10:01 PM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches<br><b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] Using legacy modules on micro-inverters<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Friends:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am trying to upgrade a long time off-grid client to a grid-connected installation. They have a mix of Siemens PC4JF and Shell SQ-150P modules. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Anyway, putting two 36 modules together makes one 72 cell module. This would likely work with an Enphase M190 but those are no longer manufactured. Same with the M215. Power One makes a micro that meets the predicted voltage window.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I did this a while ago with pairs of SR100s.
