Module manufacturers Competitive advantage with an integrated system.
Module manufacturers
By leveraging Enecsys Micro Inverters in conjunction with their own module offering, module manufacturers gain a significant advantage over competing manufacturers. Not only do Enecsys Micro Inverters ensure the maximum power output from every module, they also dramatically increase the reliability of every installation and eliminate complications typically associated with string or central inverters. Other important advantages include:
Increased lifetime and reliability – Enecsys Micro Inverters are designed for high reliability with a life expectancy of 25+ years, which unlike string inverters, matches the lifetime of solar modules. This is achieved through three key attributes: A patented rugged topology, the ability to operate in real world conditions from -40 to +85 degrees C without degradation of performance and a peak efficiency of 94.5 percent over the temperature range, and a patented energy storage technique that enables the use of long-life thin film capacitors instead less reliable electrolytic capacitors.
Maximized energy harvest – Enecsys Micro Inverters maximize the power harvested from each solar module, and therefore the entire PV array, through Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and performance monitoring. By performing MPPT on each solar module, the negative effects of shading, soiling and other obstructions associated with overall decreased energy harvest are substantially minimized. Overall energy harvest in a PV array using Enecsys Micro Inverters is typically increased by 5-10 percent, which can result in a significant cost/performance advantage.
Enhanced monitoring capability – The PV array is monitored at the individual module level, making it easy to identify the exact location of performance problems that might occur over the life of the installation. They can then be quickly repaired, resulting in optimized system performance over the lifetime of the installation.
Simplified PV array design and installation – Enecsys micro inverters are inherently easy to install because, when paired with a solar module, they can be placed on any rooftop regardless of shading, obstructions or size. Given the easy-to-install nature of the micro inverter, PV installations are typically less expensive than other more complicated installations that are based on string or central inverters. Additionally, in the event of future changes to the system, no re-sizing efforts are necessary, unlike with other systems based on fixed or daisy chain cabling.
Improved safety – By converting DC power to AC at the solar module level, micro inverters eliminate the need for dangerous and complicated high voltage DC wiring. Enecsys micro inverters enable installers to safely focus on getting installations up and running in an efficient manner.
System installers Faster, easier and safer installation.
System installers
Enecsys Micro Inverters have a number of distinct advantages for installers. Since they attach directly to solar modules, they enable installers to design dynamic rooftop installations much more quickly and easily, regardless of shading, obstruction or size. Additionally, because micro inverters do not require complex high voltage DC wiring, the installation environment is significantly safer. Other important advantages include:

System owners Maximum energy performance, minimum investment.
System owners
Enecsys understands that it is imperative for system owners to maximize their return on their solar system investments. That is why Enecsys Micro Inverters are designed to be highly reliable and last the 25-year lifetime of solar modules. Additionally, as part of the Enecsys System, system owners gain continual insight into the performance of their system through the Enecsys Monitoring System. At any time, they can review real-time and historical performance data, giving them the ability to ensure that their system is optimized over the lifetime of the installation.

As part of the monitoring capabilities, Enecsys also offers an iPhone monitoring application, which highlights real-time and historical system performance information. System owners benefit from the convenience of monitoring their installation while away from home.

System owners not only benefit from a safer and quicker installation environment, but also from a greatly reduced risk of fire often associated with high voltage DC wiring. That said, in the event of any home fire, system owners and firefighters are not in danger of shock if in contact with the rooftop.
