Buy a 10kWh battery and a 5-year warranty extension for up to 15 years of limited warranty coverage. Pay zero interest with no payments for a year or select a 15-year financing option with payments as low as $70 a month for qualified applicants.  Ask your solar installer to help you choose the best financing option for your budget. 

Enphase Storage technology includes industry-first features like Load Control, enabling customers to decide what gets powered in their home in the event of a grid outage. Enphase battery chemistry is safer by design, and microinverters provide better reliability without high-power DC voltage — putting product safety first where it matters most, at home. A passive cooling system provides better performance with fewer moving parts. And of course, if anything ever goes wrong, in addition to a 15-year warranty option, Enphase offers 24/7 support.

The IQ7 Microinverter Upgrade -- Best Deal, Best Plan to Hit The Market in 10 Years!

Old Micro-Inverters Failing!  Replace Them All Now at Less Than Manufacturer's Cost for 7th Generation 7 IQ Microinverters. Interested?  Enquire by Email Here solsen@pacific-energy.com

7IQ Upgrade – (4) Bullet Points to Understand it – It’s a complete component rebuild on the roof.

1. Early Microinverters Have a High Rate of Failure, And a high labor and programming cost to repair.  Upgrading the whole system will be cheaper than paying the repair costs over time.
2. Enphase is offering to Upgrade to 7^th Generation Micros at LOW COST
3. Enphase include cables, and includes better quality Envoy/EMU monitor with wireless capability.
4. Your warranty, which is going away quickly, is EXTENDED for 25 years…..starting 2021!!!

Let’s say you had a $35,000 car, and you had 70,000 miles on it and it was started ti nickel and dime you a bunch in repairs.    If the dealer came to you and said, heh, for $2000, we will give you a new car, with a 25 year warranty……WOULD YOU TAKE THAT DEAL?

REALLY? IT GETS BETTER!?

5) The 7IQ is "Battery Ready", The M190 will never be Battery Ready.   Call Steve to discuss, battery costs and quality and longevity have taken huge strides forward.    And Enphase has rolled out their "Plug and Play" battery system, that is designed from the beginning to work seemlessly with the new 7IQ Inverters!

6) The new monitor (EMU/Envoy) comes with Current Transducers, that PES et al, can install for you if you want to exactly know your energy profile.    These provide valuable information on your actual power production, and times where you import energy from HECO.  This allows a good engineer to properly size a battery system, without buying too much!   

The 7IQ Upgrade program is like getting that NEW CAR, at 10% of the cost!

We have done around 90 of these upgrades and we have 90 very happy customers!  (THE ENTIRE M SERIES) (M190, M210, M175, M215, M250).


If you don’t know what you have, just enquire solsen@pacific-energy.com

The original Enphase Microinverter warranty was 15 years.   For many people that is ½ or 2/3 gone ALREADY.

We re-use the racking system, and the panel hold down clips.    We expect some stuff to break, as that is just the way Murphy works, and we will cover all miscellaneous small part breakage, up to $200 per customer.

You Have A Leak From the Roof? How to Shut Off Water To the Roof On Your Solar System

95% of Our Lower Systems Look Exactly the Same.   

It took a year or so to come up with the Optimal Design, and we have been using it ever since.  

The reason for unplugging the pump is because it would be pushing against a closed valve and getting really hot.   These hefty Grundfos pumps are pretty tough, but no use abusing them!    They could fail.

Clarification on Solar Related Tax Credits - 2020

It took me a few hours to bone up on the Tax Credit forms for Federal and State, since I had not done so for many years.    I also had to spend hours with my personal and business expert tax preparer to figure out 2019 credits in which I did a Solar PV Air-conditioning system for myself.    I also did another Large PV Aircon in 2020. 

A close look at the annotations below and if need be, a call to Steve should clear up how to handle the tax credits on:

1) Solar PV Air Conditioning

2) Solar PV Electric Power

3) Solar Integrated with Battery Storage

4) Solar Attic Fan

5) Solar Hot Water
