Enphase M215 Microinverter

Enphase M215 Microinverters are built on the IQ7 Series platform, allowing for easy replacement and site expansion of 240 VAC solar installations. The DC circuit is isolated and insulated from the ground, so no ground electrode conductor (GEC) is required, simplifying installation, enhancing safety, and saving on costs. The M215 Microinverter integrates perfectly with the Engage Cable, Envoy S, and Enphase Cloud for remote monitoring and control. The IQ Microinverter platform extends the reliability standards set forth by previous generations by completing over a million hours of power-on testing, enabling Enphase to provide an industry-leading limited warranty of up to 25 years. The new Enphase M215™ and M250™ Microinverters on IQ 7™ platform allow easy replacement and site expansion* of 240 VAC M-Series PV installations. The DC circuit is isolated and insulated from ground, so no Ground Electrode Conductor (GEC) is required for the microinverter. This simplifies installation, enhances safety, and saves on labor and materials costs. The Enphase M215 and M250 integrate perfectly with the Engage Cable™, the Envoy™ Communications Gateway, and Enphase Enlighten™ monitoring and analysis software. The IQ platform microinverters extend reliability standards set forth by previous generations and undergo over a million hours of testing, enabling Enphase to provide an industry-leading warranty of up to 25 years.
