Large Grid-Tied Microinverter System with Battery Backup on a new Home in the Mountains

This unique estate home was custom built to the homeowners' specifications.  We provided a state of the art Enphase Microinverter System w/ 10kW of PV panels mounted to the roof.  The panels were specially laid with a composite shingle roof under the panels and a tile roof fitting snugly around the panels to best give the laid in aesthetics of the panels fitting into the tile roof.

 In addition to the 27 LG360W panels.  Each panel has an Enphase IQ7+ Microinverter, which optimizes output for each panel.  In the mechanical room is the heart of the system,  with forty kWhr ( Kilowatt hours ) of battery backup providing power to most of the home automatically during power outages and feeding excess power back to the grid the rest of the time.  All Enphase systems include per panel level monitoring that alerts the homeowner and us if there are any issues with the system.  

And an app that shows you exactly what your system is doing at all times from anywhere.The batteries, shown below, are modern and high tech.  Using the safest LFP lithium chemistry.

 

This is what the batteries look like with their covers off.  These are 12 Enphase batteries, each with four of their own microinverters to power the home from the batteries as needed.

 

The outside of the home includes additional shutoffs for fire safety.

 

This is the backed up loads panels along with the Enphase Combiner ( brings all of the solar from the roof together in one place ).  On the farthest right is the Enphase Enpower that brings it all together, switching between grid and off-grid use automatically.  The system will sense when storms are coming and ensure that batteries are at full power before a storm hits!
