What about AC Modules?

2024年3月6日


Solar Power World Editor, Kelly Pickerel, writes up a recent history of drama in this category, but NEP is working to keep the dream alive.

AC module dream?  The benefits of labor and logistics savings via integration of the microinverter with the PV Module.

NEP approach

  • inverter operation optimization with specific module technology
  • swappable mounting method, serviceable if ever needed.
  • warranty period matching module
  • cable harness ready for fast install
  • ultra-thin micro for no interference
  • AC output power levels for no clipping (eg. 400Wac+)

Even Enphase recognizes the benefits to Installers.

“Using AC solar modules is a business decision for installers. AC modules can offer a 20 to 40% reduction in installation time relative to similar installs without the integration,” said an Enphase spokesperson in an email to Solar Power World.

But why would a Monopoly market leader disrupt their favorable ‘Status Quo’?

Here is an interesting, highly integrated ‘module’ offering by NEP partner Solvari.  NEP is eager to collaborate with Solar innovators for the benefit of installers. Here is one example!
