With rising energy costs and growing interest in solar, finding the right whole-home solar and battery solution is key. A whole home solar solution can help maximize savings and secure energy. Originally, the homeowner was unsure about the addition of battery storage. After more consideration, they decided on the Enphase 5P battery backup solution to qualify for the Duke Energy $9,000 PowerPair Incentive Program.
The Solar Setup: REC & Enphase
For this project, the homeowner decided to settle on a 14.72 kW solar system. The system consists of 32 REC Alpha Pure RX 460W panels, each paired with an Enphase IQ8X microinverter. This configuration allows the home to harness solar energy efficiently and maximize the system’s performance, even in partial sunlight.
The homeowner chose REC Alpha Pure RX panels for their exceptional efficiency and low failure rate. As an REC Certified Installer, Yes Solar Solutions provides the exclusive ProTrust 25-year warranty, covering product, performance, and labor.
Energy Storage and Whole-Home Protection
In addition to the panels and inverters, the system includes three (3) Enphase 5P batteries and a whole-home surge protector. The whole-home surge protector protects all home appliances and electronics from voltage spikes. Spikes can come from lightning strikes or power surges on the grid. The protector is installed in the main electric panel and works by diverting excess energy safely to the ground.
The Enphase IQ8X inverters work seamlessly with the Enphase 5P battery system to provide energy in real time and manage the flow of electricity from the solar panels, batteries, and the grid. This intelligent inverter system can optimize energy usage, making the most of solar energy production and reducing reliance on grid power. The Enphase 5P batteries provide backup power to the home in case of an outage.
The Importance of Quality Installation
One key factor that can make or break a solar project is the installation process. This customer shared their experience with Yes Solar Solutions, noting that Yes Solar’s crew was not only friendly but also incredibly skilled in ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process.
“Yes Solar recently installed my Enphase system, and I was impressed by their install, customer service, and flexibility. The install crew was very friendly, and their workmanship is great.
