Microinverters improve performance under partial shading

If your roof is partially shaded, small, or on a difficult orientation, this package is for you. It features a set of Enphase Microinverters, to be mounted on the back of each solar panel individually. Microinverters improve the energy harvest of small systems, and last longer than conventional string inverter. But most importantly, by converting the electricity from DC to AC at the module level, microinverters prevent one shaded panel from taking out the whole array, allowing systems exposed to shading to work throughout the day.

Our clients say...

The installation of our PV systems at our Epping and Collingwood offices has attracted a lot of interest from Kildonan staff.

It has been a great project from a number perspectives. It has demonstrated in a very real way that as an employer we are committed to reducing our carbon pollution footprint.

The reduction in our energy bills has been significant and will result in a very short payback period on the capital cost. After that it is pure cost savings that will allow us to put those savings back into our child, youth and family services programs which assist vulnerable families in need.

We chose Going Solar after a competitive bid process and we are so glad we did. They made the installation and grid connection process and paperwork seem so easy. Their installers were fantastic and made a real effort to fit in with our work scheduling.

We have also been really impressed with their after sales and installation service with any queries we have had.

It is a great feeling coming to work each day and receiving our emails via the web portal that Going Solar set up for us, on power we have generated in the previous 24 hours!!"
