So they had originally quite a small solar system, when the prices were quite high for solar. And that solar system being quite poor quality, we had inspection there and notice that the system was failing, that the panels were degrading, and getting to the point of failing. It had to be turned off and disconnected. And in that process, we've discussed installing a higher quality system. We installed a 13.1 kW system, it turned out to be a little bit bigger. They're certainly at a place or a home that is well investing into high quality solar. And that way they can keep it for the time that they want to remain living there.
So we used microinverters on Adam and Chantels's home, because of the multiple roof aspects, the shading issues that they have. And it was a great way to produce power from sun up to sun down in a situation that a string based inverter couldn't operate in. Well, their power consumption was reasonably high. And with that higher power consumption, it was about maximum offset of their daytime power. Also providing a circumstance, where we were able to build a bigger system, and that bigger system would allow for potentially adding a battery source too in the future.
How did microinverters help homeowners optimise their solar power system size and design?
