If I purchase ONLY the microinverter, which you have priced at $156.99, can I install it right out of the box or I need additional items to complete?

Hi Martin! On the DC side, you may install a solar module directly to the microinverter (using the MC4 type connectors). However, to connect the microinverter to a subpanel or nearest junction box, trunk cable will be needed. The microinverter sends AC power directly into the trunk cable using the Enphase trunk cable connectors. See below pic for details: http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAcQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cleanenergybrands.com%2Fshoppingcart%2Fproducts%2FEnphase-ET17%25252d208%25252d240-208VAC-240-Cable-Drops-Landscape-NO-Install-Kit-.html&ei=k-Q2Vc-FHoSdsAWenoGQDg&bvm=bv.91071109,d.cWc&psig=AFQjCNFSHJWJ0ppJhmhkhDvuD8sNC_wMUQ&ust=1429747217289816 And this installation manual: http://enphase.com/global/files/M250-Installation-and-Operation-Manual-60-Hz.pdf Hope this helps!

You will need additional items such as the trunk cable to attach the inverter to your AC electrical system also racking, solar panel, grounding, fusing and other items may also be neededHope this info helps you Joe

Obviously, you need the power source, and the Enphase is specifically designed to mount and connect to a solar panel. It is also designed as a system, so the gateway controller is an important option for control. Finally, the installation must meet building codes, so there are circuit breakers and such to worry about. The Enphase is a component of a larger system, and should not be considered a stand alone product.

You can install the inverter directly to a solar panel but then you need to plug it into a cable and then that cable needs to be connected into you meter boxThanks, JEff

Sounds like the 3000 should work fine! I've found this inverter to be very capable!!

Need more info. Do you have the unit connected to anything else before you hook it up to the battery. If not, you most likely have a short somewhere, in other words, a bad unit. Send it back for a replacement and maybe even think about going up to the next larger size inverter for your needs. Better to have too much than not enough.

For the system I worked with, no -- I could not. I was able to place the converter behind the screen. I had received an adapter before, and broke the socket the wire plugged into because I tried to force it into the inverter position.

From memory: the two panels, inverter, regulator, monitor and panel for inside the cabin and all of the mounting hardware. According to the guys that installed mine, the included cable is never enough so be prepared to spend a few extra bucks on additional hardware and about $1200 for installation unless your talented enough to do it yourself. Of course, you'll have to have a few deep cell storage batteries (I have four) to make this worth while.

I already had a converter but I don't know if one was supposed to be included. I do not remember getting one.

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes. I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power. I am running 4 of them at my shop. Thanks

all you need are the cables to connect the two terminals. battery will need a charging source at some point but inverter and battery alone will run until battery reaches 10.2 volts

Yes. I purchased it needing to replace my old supply. I did not need to buy anything extra to install it!

You'll need apower inserter & a 8-way switch asdepicted here if it works. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTA0WDk5OA==/z/niwAAMXQm7FR6qzq/$T2eC16J,!yUE9s6NEGyfBR6qzqT-Kw~~60_57.JPG

I am not sure but I would not buy this inverter or any other inverter the make. I bought this item, it lasted less than two months. The cost of returning the unit was more than it was worth. The quality is junk. I had someone look at it and the soldered connections look like a 2 year old assembled this unit. The screws that were used to assemble it were half stripped and loose. Complete piece of JUNK!

No. If you think about it the power source could be any distance away from where you want to mount the inverter so it's an added cost but that's not unexpected.

Of course, the inverter is a separate system, but you will need a charging source in the meantime

The inverter has the cable with MC4 connector as shown in the picture. The other cable has a special connector to plug into the trunk cable (not included)

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

It comes with all the circuitry required to do a simple screen replacement on your laptop. That circuitry is hidden behind the black tape. It is a LED screen so an inverter is not required.

need 20 amps . Not sure on inverter . And you need a heavy.duty extension if you use one.
