This was one of our very first enPhase installations. It was due to the monitoring of this system that we have become huge fans of enPhase. We were shocked with the increase in productivity. While all of our systems have overproduced what we quoted. Our enPhase systems have overproduced at a minimum of 10%. That is real money. Now that they are warranted for 25 years We don't know why anyone would choose a central or string inverter.

This is actually a great story. This is the founder of Palomar Solar's home. After doing months of research on the best available equipment he decided on Siliken solar panels. Siliken was the highest quality panel he could find that was not made in China and had a better 25 year linear warranty than other panels. It also ranked high in the prestigious Photon Module test. (This is still true today) However, he decided to go with a Fronius central inverter rather than enPhase (keep in mind...

enPhase was absolutely the right solution for this customer due to the multiple roofs we needed to install on. Remember when you have multiple roofs your options are A. enPhase micro inverters under each panel with a single piece of conduit run from the roof to your main electrical panel. Or B. a central or string inverter per azimuth so in this case it would have required two big ugly boxes to be installed on the exterior of this beautiful home or worse take up space in the garage with...

This system was purchased at the same time as one of his co workers. The two had been doing research together for a couple of years. Part of their research led them to the discovery of microinverters which is what they wanted. We also always recommend a black on black panel for aesthetics we the system is visible from the street. Most home owners are not aware there is an option. We also recommend and will paint your conduit to match your home and Palomar Solar will provide you a 10...

The home owner had met with at least three other companies before choosing Palomar Solar. Just like with any job there are things to be considered especially with a ground mount. There were many challenges with this installation; trenching, main panel change out, shade and Billy goats ha ha yes Billy goats

Starting with the amount of trenching, over 300'. The further you are away from the main panel wire size needs to be accounted for.
Another issue that had to be...

This home owner was referred to us by another and he has since referred us to two other customers.

This was a challenging but fun project. The first challenge was finding the right location while maintaining great production and the beautiful aesthetics of this property. We found a location on the property that is not visible from the home or outdoor entertaining pool area. While it is a great location it's over 300' away from the main panel and 50% of the trench was done on steep grade.

The main panel of the home needed to be upgraded for us to be able to add the extra...

Just like with most of our systems the home owners had met with several contractors before making the decision to choose Palomar Solar. The research they did was fantastic. We always encourage our customers to do their research. Check references, visit completed jobs, etc.

This was a very complex project. The home owners where trying to get to certain kWh production that would be guaranteed for the next 20 years by the leasing company. Due to the need for so many kWh it...

This home owner was also referred to us by another. The system took seven days to construct. However, the planning and approval process took about six months as it had to be approved by the Rancho Sante Fe Art Jury in addition to pulling regular permits.

This home owner is an engineer and had visited a local solar supply company asking who they would recommend to do the job. We are flattered they introduced us to him. The challenge of this job was installing our standoffs prior to the roofer installing the torch down roof. And making sure all the angles were correct to assure one row of panels would not shade the other.
