It sure looks like 200 watts is what we are going to be getting.. When it's cool anyways.
So, I hope you got the 200w Enphase units!!

IIRC, 200w panels are good for the 190w Enphase GTIs, since 190w is the AC watts output..
From all I've been able to learn, Enphase gear is the best way to go..

FYI, while I was measuring the left panel, I put my hand and a bit of my forearm out in front of the panel,
the power went from 100w to 50w in an instant..

That type of reaction to such a small blockage tells me that a GTI on each panel is a real good idea..
