Modules
SolarWorld *American Made*
SolarWorld SW165/175 Sunmodule
SolarWorld California was founded in March 2005 and expanded in July 2006 with the acquisition of
Shell Solar Industries' solar manufacturing facilities that had been operating in the U.S. Since 1977.
The factory, originally opened by ARCO Solar, later sold to Siemens Solar and then Shell, was purchased
by SolarWorld in 2006.
SolarWorld California modules are made in the USA ensuring unsurpassed quality, performance and output.
SolarWorld is the largest manufacturer of solar modules in the U.S. Modules are supported by a 25-year
power warranty.
The SolarWorld modules are designed for use in high-voltage grid-tie applications as well as in large industrial and off-grid applications for 24 and 48 volt battery charging. These modules use 72 five-inch semi-square single-crystalline cells in series behind tempered glass. They feature clear-anodized aluminum frames and a sealed junction box with bypass diodes and Multi-Contact locking connector output cables. 25-year warranty. UL Listed.

Micro-inverters
Enphase Energy *American Made*
Enphase Micro-inverter
Micro-inverters are now available for Grid-Tie applications! Enphase Energy began shipping units in July, 2008. We are firm believers in micro-inverter technology for many reasons:
- Cost. If you don't have the money on-hand to put into a large-scale PV system, then
start small. You can begin with just a hand full of modules and add to it as you have the money available.
You are even eligible for the APS rebate for your annual upgrades.
- Shading. If you don't have the perfect site for solar due to shade created by
buildings, trees, etc., then micro-inverters are an excellent choice to maximize system output. They
reduce the effects of shading because each module works independently of the rest.
- Efficiency. Every module has its own Maximum Power Point Tracking inverter to
optimize its output. Not all modules perform the same, so you can take advantage of all available
production.
These are just a few reasons why micro-inverters may be a great option for your installation. Feel
free to contact us for a free system quote or go to
www.enphaseenergy.com to learn more. |

Enphase EMU Communications Gateway
The module performance information generated by each Micro-inverter is collected by
the Enphase communications gateway called the Energy Management Unit (EMU). The EMU
then transmits this data over a broadband internet connection to the Enphase
Enlighten™ website.

Enphase Enlighten Monitoring and Managing website
The Enphase Enlighten website analyzes the per-module data collected by each
Micro-inverter. Enlighten automatically detects any shortfall in energy
production, identifies possible causes, and suggests solutions to correct
the problem. The Enphase Enlighten website is constantly monitoring and managing
every module on every installation.
