Transparent Installation and Operation
When the Sreenivas family needed a new roof, they decided to install solar power at the same time. Concerned about the aesthetic beauty of their home, they wanted the installation to impact their property as little as possible. When reviewing design options, the family was concerned that a system with a centralized inverter would be visually intrusive, dangerous for children, and clutter their property with cables, wires, and boxes.

The Microinverter Difference
Installers Borrego Solar Systems presented the Sreenivas family with a solution using the Enphase Microinverters. Microinverters are installed beneath the solar modules, thereby hiding them from view. This would eliminate the need for – and potential danger of – a central inverter, reduce the amount of cabling and wiring routed through their home, and leave the solar modules as the only visible hardware on their property. The Enphase Microinverters are completely silent, thereby reducing any further disruption to their home life. In addition, the Enlighten website allows the family to monitor their power production and usage, providing peace of mind that the system is operating as expected.
The family chose the Enphase Microinverter System for their solar power installation. The installation took place in a few days and the entire experience had minimal impact on the family.
Results
- Seamless installation
- Minimal additional equipment
- No impact on visual beauty of home and property
