serviceable parts. If it fails, please contact Enphase customer service to
obtain an RMA (return merchandise authorization) number and start the
replacement process. Tampering with or opening the Enphase Microinverter

under extreme conditions the microinverter can reach a temperature of 80°C.
To reduce risk of burns, use caution when working with microinverters.
