I have a 2013 EVSE upgraded by EVSEUpgrade to 20 amps 120V/240V, including the 120V adapter. I was told that it is not selectable, so it does need to be on a circuit larger than 15 amps.
Anyone out there have an unmodified charger?
My '13 Leaf is currently at the dealer for a new PTC heater assembly. The computer screen said it was related to a TSB, so it must be a known problem. This is my first trip to the dealer since I leased it last March.
The snow that has been lingering on my lower panels for days apparently cause the Enlighten website to flag 6 of the panels/inverters as broken. I guess I should get a really long squeegee...
Awesome writeup! As a fellow engineer, I love seeing these massively detailed writeups, but for some reason, I never take the time to do them myself.
Also, a big thanks to QueenBee for helping me a ton with my (nearly) completed 7.44 kW system
My BenQ panels are made in Taiwan. And yes, Taiwan is part of China - but go ahead and call a Taiwanese person Chinese and see what they say.
And I didn't say the Enphase inverters (which I am using) are Chinese-made, but they aren't US-made. Canada isn't (yet? :D) part of the US...
They have a 300W / 48V DC limit, which would seem to indicate that you could use a 300W 72 cell panel with them. That would be interesting, because I could get another ~20% on my roof with 300W panels and these new inverters - but Enphase still says they are for 60 cell panels.
Enphase just published the spec sheet (and more on their website):

Temp ranges:
Ambient temperature range -40ºC to +65ºC
Operating temperature range (internal) -40ºC to +85ºC
What're the details on your setup? Is it two arrays - one pointing northeast and one southwest? What size panels?
If you don't mind sharing, what was the price before the Ameren rebate/tax incentive?
Yeah, I'm planning on the Enphase units. The county told me that the electrician actually has to install the panel - I'm guessing because of grounding concerns, but who knows.
