All AC module installations must be Internet connected for the monitoring to receive the 25-year microinverter warranty. This Internet connection reports data to the Enphase monitoring platform, Enlighten on a per microinverter/module basis. The performance of each microinverter and module is visible to the installer via Enlighten and alerts are provided for any faulty equipment, such as an under-performing PV module or a faulty microinverter.

A photovoltaic (PV) solar system is comprised of solar panels, racks for placing the panels on your roof, electrical wiring and an inverter. From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate electricity (DC) which is sent to an inverter. The inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity required for household use. The AC power is delivered directly to your home’s main electrical service panel for use by you and your family.

Electricity prices continue to rise and so do your operational expenses. Fortunately, the cost of going solar has never been more affordable. When you install a solar system now, you can offset your electricity bills to protect your business against future energy expenses.

Just like many consumer products, the cost of your system will vary greatly by the quality of your system’s components and installer. It’s important to remember that a quality solar system might cost more upfront, but will produce more energy and last longer. Other factors can also affect the cost such as government incentives, number of solar panels required, accessibility of the roof, and more. A SunPower commercial partner can walk you through each step of the solar process to ensure you’re comfortable with the costs of your system and you understand your long-term energy savings.

In the solar industry, the payback period is the time it takes for your system’s energy savings to cover the cost of installing the system.
