What financing options are available for solar panel installations?
There are several financing options for solar installations, including solar loans, solar leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
How is a system fault detected?
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.
How many microinverters can you put on a single-phase installation? And a three-phase installation?
In single-phase, 10 microinverters can be connected. In a three-phase installation, up to 30 microinverters can be connected on a single 20A three phase circuit breaker. Larger systems can be constructed with multiple AC branch circuits.
In a three-phase installation of 230V between phases, can these modules and microinverters be installed without additional transformers? What accessories need to be included in the installation?
Yes, AC modules can be installed on Delta grid arrangement with 230V between phases. No additional transformer equipment is required for typical LV connections. Alongside the microinverters that are supplied as part of the PV module, installers will need to purchase Q cables, cable accessories and the Envoy-S communications gateway. Contact your Sales Manager to access additional installer tools to learn more about site design and balance of system requirements. In addition to the AC module, what additional components are needed to complete the installation? In addition to the AC module, installers will need to purchase Q cables, cable accessories, and the Envoy-S communications gateway. Contact your Sales Manager to access additional installer tools to learn more about site design and balance of system requirements.
Is the AC module compliant with RD 244 for zero injection? Can it be used for isolated installations?
No, export limiting functionality is not yet compliant with RD 244/2019. Most installations with Enphase microinverters are residential scale (below 15kW) and are easily accepted without this compliance.
Each microinverter is a single phase device. Three-phase installations are constructed with single phase microinverters distributed across the phases. The inverter will monitor power consumption at each phase using the CTs connected to the Envoy-S communications gateway, limiting grid export to the defined level, either on a per phase or aggregate basis as required.In three-phase installations, can you divide surpluses by phases?
