Enphase® Microinverter System

Enphase C250 Microinverter ®

System

The Enphase C250 Microinverter delivers superior commercial project economics by increasing overall
®

energy harvest and system availability along with substantial reductions in material and labor costs. Used with
a transformer, the C250 Microinverter System meets the needs of medium and large commercial installations
where power distribution is 277 V/480 WYE or medium voltage (MV). With support for both 60- and 72-cell
modules, the system provides a flexible, operationally efficient, and cost effective solution across all commercial
project segments.

The Enphase C250 integrates seamlessly with the Engage Cable, the Envoy-C Communications Gateway,
® ® TM

and Enlighten, Enphase’s monitoring and analysis software.

PRODUCTIVE SIMPLE RELIABLE


- Maximizes energy production - No GEC needed for microinverter - More than 1 million hours of testing
- Minimizes impact of shading, - No DC design or string calculation and millions of units shipped
dust, and debris required - All units performance tested prior
- No single point of system failure - Easy installation with Engage Cable to shipment
