[RE-wrenches] Enphase IQ8

[Nicholas Welch]

Hey Marco,

I have been hunting down the IQ7X for 96 cell mods recently. From our
Enphase rep, the IQ7X is being phased out. I have an order in now and am
being told ETA is around August and we won't be getting any more after
that. Food for thought.

Cheers,

Nick Welch
