Check out these super sleek solar panels in Fountain Valley, CA.
Our team of solar experts had a great time working with this homeowner on their journey to solar.
As with most SoCal homeowners they had two main reasons for wanting to add rooftop solar panels. High electricity rates and a desire for clean energy.
Fountain Valley sits right in the middle of Orange County, which means high utility bills. The average Fountain Valley homeowner pays 15.98¢/kWh. Keep in mind, this is a base rate and does not consider peak rates which can climb to over 40¢/kWh depending on the time of use rate increases.
For further context, this means the average Fountain Valley resident pays 4.17% more than the California average and 34.51% more than the national average.
Adding rooftop solar panels, like this homeowner did, immediately reduces your monthly electricity bills and allows you to save tens of thousands of dollars in the long-run.
Also, adding solar panels can drastically cut down on your carbon footprint. Rather than using grid-based electricity that utility companies generate in unsustainable way, solar panels allow you to capture energy to power your home carbon free!

As Enphase has announced its release of solar inverters, it is important for people who use solar panels to learn its benefits. Enphase IQ8 upgrade, which is an exciting update, promises to be the most advanced battery backup for stabilizing power. It will also make sure that you will not come across power interruptions every time in case of bad weather.
Of course, backup power without the need to use batteries would be ideal and much more convenient. But before explaining the benefits and why you should consider getting a solar panel inverter, it would help to understand how solar panels work. This basic understanding will allow you to utilize them more efficiently.
The inverters’ main function is that converts the AC (alternating current) energy into DC (direct current). DC energy can be stored in batteries. In the future, when the power in your house suddenly goes off, you can rely on your inverter to convert the AC energy into DC and stop worrying about not having enough energy for your appliances to run. This function can also serve you well during rainy days. Even though they don’t occur that often, still using an inverter will be a backup for not running out of energy during rainy days. It will allow you to use the restored power in your grid during winter.
Besides, the IQ8 series provides six models, all of which have their own power capacity. With this wide range of models, you won’t have to worry about finding the appropriate inverter for your panel.
For example, IQ8A (max input is 295 W – 500 W), IQ8H (max input is 320 W – 540+ W), or IQ8M (max input is 235 W – 460 W) which are higher capacity models, can be used for larger solar panels.
If you have a smaller, more residential solar panel, then the model IQ8+ (max input is 235 W – 440 W) will be the right choice for you.
Another important aspect of this is when you convert the DC energy into AC energy, you are also ensuring you are not wasting any energy. In case of the panel produces more energy than needed, a solar panel kit with a battery and inverter stores the energy back in the grid. This way, you can use it later for your electronics, during days that are not very sunny. This feature is not only useful economically and financially but also is beneficial to the environment. So when using inverters and saving energy, you’re doing good to yourself, nature, and future generations. And if you want to learn how much energy you are consuming and producing, you can do that with the app specifically designed for that. The app helps you to track the management of the Enphase systems. You can also turn on and off your appliances with this app.
The first type of inverter is the string inverter. It connects a series of panels (strings) to the inverter and converts the energy generated by the whole string into alternating current (AC). This way, if you encounter any difficulties with your panels, you will have less produced energy on the string.
Next, we have microinverters. As their name suggests, they are smaller in size. They must be installed on every panel. This way, if one of the panels experiences any problems, it will not affect the functionality of the other panels.
The high-performance inverter Enphase IQ8 is equipped with a special chip. This makes switching between on-grid and off-grid more coherent. Its special breakthrough is Burst Mode.
The technology ensures you have electricity even during cloudy and gray days. In case of new features, the system does the automatic update itself through the Internet so you won’t have to spend any time doing it yourself.
What IQ8 Enphase does that has actually never been done before, is allowing the installation of any kind of battery storage. Prior to this upgrade, the amount of storage your batteries had depended on how large your solar panel system was. Enphase IQ8 inverter is able to act without a battery and provide you with sunlight backup. Not only that, but Enphase IQ8 availability in your house gives you the ability to control the flow of the energy. Its technology is smart enough to understand the overall energy flow inside the house and adjust its functions based on them. If it sees the panel catches more energy but consumes less, it will immediately understand the situation; it will shut the system down until the excess energy is completely finished.
In case of an emergency or accident, the system’s Rapid Shutdown will immediately turn off the solar power, which would allow first responders and utility employers to do their job safely.
IQ8 can serve its duty, whether it is connected to the utility grid or not, due to its fast processing. Its speed helps its system create an AC microgrid that directly processes the panel’s output. As a result, you will have your own power grid wherever your solar panels are installed, so the DC to AC inversion process will go without having to send electricity to the utility grid.
Another important aspect is Enphase IQ8’s cutting-edge battery technology. The Recharge battery does the important function of storing power. As it keeps the excess energy accumulated throughout the day, you can let go of the worry of not having electricity during the night or power outages. So, you will no longer need to have a solar panel kit with a battery and inverter. Though the microinverters of Enphase IQ8 cannot store as much energy as batteries do, you can generate and consume solar power even when there are grid outages.
