What inverter can you use to install an on-grid solar system in Mexico which has a 220V grid?
I am looking to install an interconnected on-grid solar system to my house in Mexico. The grid in Mexico is 220V, can I install a Sunny Boy US inverter in Mexico? If not which inverter can I use for 14 Yingli 230 panels on Mexico's grid?

Mexico's grid is based on 127VAC 60Hz, but can vary by 10%. The most important thing to do is verify the acceptable voltage range for your proposed grid-tied inverter.
Here's a table of worldwide voltages (thanks, Wikipedia):

For instance, the Xantrex XW4024 has an AC range of: L-N: 108 - 130 +/- 1.5 Vac and L-L: 214 - 260 +/- 3.0 Vac
So, you want to make sure your site has split phase power and that it's stable within those ranges.
