Why Install Photovoltaic Solar Panels?
Since the revisions to Part L of the Building Regulations in March 2014 there has been
a need for a greater contribution from renewable sources of energy for domestic and
commercial constructions. One way to comply with the updated regulations is by in-
stalling Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels.
There are numerous benets to installing PV Solar Panels
• PV panels provide clean, green energy. During electricity generation with PV pan-
els there is no harmful greenhouse gas emissions thus solar PV is environmentally
friendly.
• Solar energy is energy supplied by nature – it is thus free and abundant!
• Solar energy can be made available almost anywhere there is sunlight
• Photovoltaic panels, through photoelectric phenomenon, produce electricity in a
direct electricity generation way.
• Operating and maintenance costs for PV panels are considered to be low, almost
negligible, compared to costs of other renewable energy systems.
• PV panels have no mechanically moving parts, except in cases of sun-tracking
mechanical bases; consequently they have far less breakages or require less main-
tenance than other renewable energy systems (e.g. wind turbines).
• PV panels are totally silent, producing no noise at all; consequently, they are a per-
fect solution for urban areas and for residential applications.

Contribution to Running Costs
The table below gives typical consumptions of standard electrical devices. Even when
electrical devices are turned o they may still be consuming power. Photovoltaic Solar
Panels can contribute towards the operation of these products with the contribution
given being determined by the amount of panels installed.
Customers may start with as little as one PS260AC Module and then increase their system
wattage as budget, time, and space permit. As each Photovoltaic AC module produces grid
compliant AC current, the modules serve as building blocks with no matching or string sizing
required.
The integrated Enphase Microinverter instantly converts DC electricity into ready to use AC
power. If an Enphase Envoy is installed, the intelligent Microinverter also sends vital health
and performance information to the Enphase communications gateway.

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
