400kW Project Installed by One Sun, Inc. Among the Largest Commercial
Rooftop Solar Systems in Santa Rosa, CA
PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enphase Energy (Nasdaq: ENPH) and One Sun, Inc. of Graton, CA announced
today that construction has begun on a 400kW commercial solar
installation at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, CA. The
system will include 1,656 Enphase microinverters and is expected to
generate 90 percent of the Center's power needs. The canopy-mounted
photovoltaic system will be installed on four rows of carport structures
and is expected to save the Center more than $100,000 per year on energy
costs.
"Enphase is excited that a leading commercial solar provider has chosen
our microinverter system to power a site that is so visible and vital to
the arts and environmental community in the Bay Area," said Paul Nahi,
CEO of Enphase Energy. "Commercial solar providers across North America
are adopting the Enphase Microinverter System for projects of all shapes
and sizes with its unique modular approach to system design and
installation.
"Beyond the benefits of an all AC system and high performance of Enphase
microinverters, we discovered the additional value of Enlighten
monitoring software as an important component of the system," said
Warren Brown, President of One Sun, Inc. "From our desktop we're able to
track energy output and efficiency during the lifetime of the system at
Wells Fargo Center for the Arts and provide our customer unprecedented
service uptime."
Now in its 31st season of presenting world-class performances
and events in Sonoma County, the Center's solar system is expected to
produce 567,000 kilowatt hours of electricity and reduce its annual
carbon footprint by 333 tons per year. Ongoing monitoring and reporting
of the energy output is provided by Enphase Enlighten monitoring
software, which is included in the microinverter installation cost.
The Enphase Microinverter System combines Enphase
M215 Microinverters, the Envoy
Communications Gateway and Enlighten
web-based monitoring and analysis software to deliver solar systems with
increased design flexibility, simplified installation and remote system
management. To learn more visit www.enphase.com/commercial.
