Install Too Large Of A Solar Panel On A Micro Inverter And
You'll Not Only Be Wasting Power You'll Also Be Wasting Your Money.

 

For example several dealers are offering The Canadian Solar CS6P-230 230 Watt solar panel
coupled with the Enphase
® M190-72-240-S12 micro inverter. They call this inverter the M190 because it has a nominal rating of 190 watts and according to Enphase® tech support this inverter has a peak AC output rating of 199 Watt. Hmm....230 Watts in 199 Watts peak out ?

What happens to Canadian Solar's extra 31 Watts ? Well.... It's lost. Now even if you consider the CS6P-230's 211 watt PTC rating, this micro inverter will still only put out 199 Watts peak. That's still a loss of 12 PTC Watts per panel.

Now don't get us wrong, Enphase® makes one of the greatest inverters on the planet, but paying for a 230 Watt solar panel and only getting 199 watts, simply makes no sense.

That's exactly the reason why we offer Mitsubishi Electric's new high performance PV-UJ218G6 in our Sunstarter™ systems. It not only offers a higher per Watt PTC rating than the Canadian Solar CS6P-230 solar panel, the Mitsubishi Electric PV-UJ218G6 is about as close to a perfect match for this inverter as it gets.

The Mitsubishi Electric PV-UJ218G6 offers a PTC rating of 200.1 which is only a 1.1 PTC Watt difference. Talk about a match made in solar heaven.
