Enphase Energy Powers Commercial Business for REAL Solar of Minneapolis
August 10 2020 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world's leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that REAL Solar, SBC is expanding its portfolio of
commercial solar installations by leveraging the Enphase
Three-Phase Network Protection Relay™ (NPR) device for 208 VAC,
three-phase solar systems. REAL Solar, based in Backus, MN, is an
award-winning full-service residential and commercial solar
installation company with a long history of bringing solar to
customers in communities of need.
The Enphase Network Protection Relay device allows commercial
solar installers to quickly deploy the Enphase microinverters of
their choice on commercial solar projects in jurisdictions that
require compliance with IEEE 1547 for three-phase solar systems.
REAL Solar was one of the first solar installers to deploy the
Enphase NPR device in commercial solar installations. To ensure
compliance with local building code, REAL Solar made use of the
Enphase NPR device to install more than 70 kWDC across two
locations for its financial industry customer, Starion Bank, in
North Dakota.
"Enphase microinverters allow us to be confident in installing
solar for commercial customers in remote locations across the
Midwest because of their reliability and our ability to monitor
customer systems remotely at the module level," said Ben Butcher,
co-director and construction manager at REAL Solar, SBC. "We
primarily use the high-power Enphase IQ 7+™ microinverter, and the
Enphase NPR device has made it possible for us to use that
outstanding microinverter in three-phase commercial projects. We
are particularly excited about the upcoming Enphase microinverters
designed specifically for commercial solar, which will allow us to
optimize our offerings for our commercial customers further."
“A central element of our corporate philosophy is to protect the
environment, which has taken the form of everything from making our
branch buildings more energy-efficient, native plant landscaping,
to adding increasing amounts of solar power,” said Wade Miller,
facilities manager at Starion Bank. “The team at REAL Solar helped
us navigate the technical and incentives landscapes, which allowed
us to move forward with solar quickly and confidently. After some
of our early experiences with solar, we were delighted with how a
solar system based on Enphase microinverters will continue
producing energy even when a single inverter or module goes out, or
we get some seasonal shading. We look forward to working with REAL
Solar and Enphase to solarize even more of our owned bank branch
buildings.”
The Enphase Three-Phase Network Protection Relay device with
integrated Enphase IQ Envoy™ gateway and Enphase Mobile Connect™
modem consolidates three-phase interconnection equipment into a
single enclosure and streamlines installations by providing a
consistent, pre-wired solution for three-phase commercial 208 VAC
applications. The Enphase NPR device features a durable NEMA type
3R enclosure, a five-year warranty, and is compliant with UL 1741
SA for grid support functions enabling smarter, safer, reactive
grid interconnection.
"REAL Solar is a prime example of one of the many sophisticated
and socially-minded installers that Enphase is proud to count among
its commercial solar customers," said Gokul Krishnan, vice
president and general manager, microinverter business unit at
Enphase Energy. "We look forward to a continued expansion of our
commercial solar products portfolio and working with our installer
partners to deliver an outstanding customer experience to great
customers like Starion Bank in the commercial market segment."
