Installer spotlight: Sunline Energy

Maximizing savings for California solar customers

Sunline Energy sees the Enphase Energy System as a key solution for their customers under California's new net energy metering (NEM) rate structures.

Under NEM 3.0, the time-varying rate of energy motivates homeowners to store excess generated solar and consume it during times of peak demand. In addition, the rate incentivizes homeowners to export energy during high compensation periods. The combination of avoiding grid energy during peak times, and selling energy during certain other peak times, can result in a substantial financial return on investment for homeowners.

The Enphase Energy System can adjust in real time, enabling installers like Sunline Energy to add any size solar system to any size battery system. Most competing batteries have a restriction on solar-to-storage ratios.

The new Enphase Power Control software enables Enphase IQ Batteries to export stored electricity to the grid for economic benefit, maximizing the value of a homeowner's system under NEM 3.0. It also gives installers more flexibility in system design to build larger systems, avoid costly main panel upgrades, and meet utility and national electrical code (NEC) requirements.

A lot has changed in the solar industry since Sunline Energy first opened its doors. But its mission to design and install superior quality solar and solar-plus-storage systems that deliver maximum long-term value remains the same. With more than 8,000 projects completed to date, Sunline Energy will continue to help homeowners across Southern California make the most of their home energy systems.
