Can you schedule the surpluses in any way? For example, to different appliances or an electric car charger?
Some customers have achieved some clever customised DIY solutions for re-directing surplus power using Enphase APIs, however, Enphase does not currently offer products that re-direct surplus power.
How do solar systems work?
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.
What if a squirrel, a bird, or any other wildlife chews or in any way interferes with my solar system’s wiring and cables?
After market animal guards and other preventive measures exist that may help deter wildlife from coming into contact with your solar system. Please contact your Installer for options and pricing.
Why should I limit shading from trees?
To maximize system production. Trees, plants, rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, and other obstructions can block the sunlight from reaching the panels. If any portion of the panel is shaded, your system will produce electricity at a reduced level. Should you need to trim vegetation or move objects that might shade the panels, please do so during the daylight hours and use caution.
If one panel fails, does the rest of the system continue to produce energy?
If the microinverter (or the associated PV module) should fail, only that PV module is offline. The remainder of the system continues to operate as normal – a key benefit of AC modules.
If an issue is identified, does the installer need to replace the entire panel?
No, the microinverter is detachable from the PV module so each component can be serviced separately.
