[RE-wrenches] Altitude and controllers

[Nick Soleil]

To clarify, the altitude restriction that Enphase sets is only related to the Envoy and Combiner Boxes, but does not apply to microinverters or other accessories.  Please contact me off-list if you are having any issues with the altitude restriction.


Cordially,

Nick Soleil

Of course, the heat rejection rate with a thinner atmosphere is reduced. The electrical capacity is then reduced.  At higher altitudes, Outback recommended reduced input.  IN your case it would mean smaller modules on the microinverter.

Hi Folks:



What is the deal with altitude restrictions on charge controllers and other solid state circuitry?  We have a high altitude customer with some concerns.



For example, Enphase wants their goods installed at under 2000 meters….



Best,
