region_notes	North American product: 60 Hz, 208 V and 240 V service, UL1741 / UL1741SA / IEEE 1547 / CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 / CA Rule 21 / HECO Rule 14H and 22 / NEC 690.12(B)(2). The datasheet title reads 'CP-250E-60-72-208/240-MC4 Microinverter'; that string embeds cell-count and service-voltage options, so the designation Chilicon uses throughout its catalogue, CP-250E, is the model. Two AC columns ('@ 208 V'
