Advantages
This next generation design eliminates the need for expensive DC wiring components
and centralized power inverters. Also, the Photovoltaic AC Module dramatically re-
duces the complex design and installation process associated with a traditional DC
solar power system.
AC Advantages
• High eciency solar module integrated with an Enphase Microinverter, the world’s
most ecient AC system solution
• Higher Eciencies than String Inverter systems
• Optimized for higher outputs in low light conditions
• Modules are individually optimized
• Eliminates module mismatch losses
• Any shading will aect only the shaded panel, not the entire system
• Easier to Design and Install
• Installation labour reduced, no DC switches, GFCI, etc. required
• Fast, inexpensive mounting - delivered ready for connection
• Pre manufactured cables
• Greater Productivity with more reliability
• AC wiring systems are more ecient at transporting electricity as they do not suer
typical electrical losses that are common in all DC wiring circuits.
• More uptime means more kW-h generated
• Installers need not match PV output characteristics before installation
• Better Performance
• Individual PV breakages (e.g. hail) do not stop system power output
• No system mismatch losses
• Any shading will aect only the shaded panel, not the entire system
• Optional communication hub monitors every module independently
• Peak eciency 96.3%, CEC eciency 96%
• No single point of failure will disable the system
• AC Modules are sealed. No cooling vents mean that the units always stay clean
and dry inside
• Convection cooled with no moving parts
• Safer – no DC-side wiring (eliminates dangerous high voltage DC and all DC wiring
loss)
• Reduced inspection code issues
