The Enphase' M250 Microinverter delivers increased energy harvest and reduces design and
installation complexity with its all-AC approach.With the M250, the DC circuit is isolated and insulated
from ground, so no Ground Electrode Conductor(GEC) is required for the microinverter.This
further simplifies installation, enhances safety, and saves on labor and materials costs.
The Enphase M250 integrates seamlessly with the Engage`Cable,the Envoy Communications
Gateway", and Enlighten", Enphase's monitoring and analysis software.
PRODUCTIVE SIMPLE RELIABLE
Optimized for higher-power No GEC needed for microinverter 4th-generation product
modules No DC design or string calculation More than 1 million hours of testing
Maximizes energy production required and 3 million units shipped
Minimizes impact of shading, Easy installation with Engage Industry-leading warranty, up to 25

installing Splices:if your installation uses SolarMount splice bars,attach
the rails together(Fig.13)before mounting the rails to the footings. Use
splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt
legs.
Although structural,the joint is not as strong as the rail itself.A rail should
always be supponed by more than one footing on both sides of the
splice.(Reference installation manual 908,Splices/Expansion Joints.)

Mounting Rails on Footings:Rails may be anached to either of two
mounting holes in the L-feet(Fig.14). Mount in the lower hole for a low
profile,more aesthetically pleasing installation. Mount in the upper hole Clumping
for a higher profile,which will maximize airflow under the modules. This bolt slot
will cool them more and may enhance performance in honer climates.

if the rails are perpendicular to the rafters(Fig.15),either end of the rails
can be aligned,but the first module must be installed at the aligned end.
if the rails are parallel to the rafters(Fig.16),the aligned end of the rails
must face the lower edge of the roof. Securely tighten all hardware after
alignment is complete(20 It lbs).

Lay the modules for a given panel face down on a surface
that will not damage the module glass. Align the edges of the
modules and snug them together (Fig.21,page 22).
Trim the rails to the total width of the modules to be mounted.
Place a rail adjacent to the outer mounting holes. Orient
the footing bolt slot outward. Place a clip slot adjacent to
the mounting holes,following the arrangement you selected
earlier.
Assemble the clips,mounting bolts,and flange nuts. Torque
the flange nuts to 10 foot-pounds.
