Questions & answers

How efficient is the Enphase Energy XACM-IQ7-LR6-60PB-300M?

Calculated from the panel area (1.58 m²): about 19% for the 300 W class. 300 W over 1.58 m² equals about 190 W per square meter.

How much energy does one panel produce in Los Angeles or Palmdale?

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 503 kWh per year per 300 W panel in Los Angeles and about 550 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.391 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 20.3% below the STC rating.

What microinverter is built into the Enphase Energy XACM-IQ7-LR6-60PB-300M?

The CEC listing names IQ7-60-ACM-US paired with the LR6-60PB-300M DC module; the microinverter is rated 240 W AC.
