With the 2014NEC finally rolling out in my state, I wanted to re-evaluate them as an option. We have several M190 installs that have bad failure rates (one job is having all the 190’s replaced with 215’s on Enphases dime) but we really have too few 215’s and 250’s out there to be able to form an opinion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A year ago I kept seeing anecdotal evidence the 215’s and 250’s are MUCH more reliable, but I’m looking for REAL data if it’s available. Anyone have access to warranty claims by enphase on a per product basis? Or better yet, failure rate vs service life of the units, now that the newer generation of inverters have a decent install base and kind of relevant in service time?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Daniel Young, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional<sup>TM</sup>: Cert #031508-90<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NABCEP Certified Solar Heating Installer<sup>TM</sup>: Cert #SH031409-13<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lead Systems Designer for:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img width=148 height=90 id="Picture_x0020_11" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D007D7.89AB1C80" alt="Dovetail 2013 cmyk 300dpi.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#00B050'><a href="http://www.dovetailsolar.com"><span style='color:#00B050'>www.dovetailsolar.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ph: 740-274-0139<b><span style='color:#00B050'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We’ve completed nearly 400 renewable energy projects!
