Enecsys micro inverters gain traction in Hawaii with new partner R&R Solar Supply

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Enecsys Limited, a premier supplier of micro inverter products for the global solar market, announced that it was making excellent progress in the Hawaii solar residential market thanks to its growing partnership with R&R Solar Supply in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

"R&R Solar Supply is pleased to offer our contractor customers a micro inverter solution that we feel better serves the needs of both installers and homeowners than alternative brands being made available," said Aaron Langhoff, Vice President, Purchasing and Product Development at R&R Solar Supply.  "Having tested both the Enecsys SMI-S240W and SMI-S480W micro inverter installations with a select group of integrators with great success, we're confident that the flexibility of the modular AC cabling system, the higher energy output capability of Enecsys micro inverters, and financial stability of the manufacturer are in line with our mission to offer a selection of well-made products at excellent value."

The Enecsys Micro Inverter System is designed to make incorporating solar into any home easy and affordable for both installers and homeowners to maximize rooftop solar energy harvest. As part of the system, Enecsys offers two types of micro inverters – the Enecsys Single and Duo Micro Inverters. Unlike string or central inverters, the Enecsys Single Micro Inverter is installed on the rack behind each solar module and converts direct current to alternating current immediately at the solar module. The Enecsys Duo Micro Inverter enables installers to connect one micro inverter to every two solar modules. By offering both types of micro inverters, Enecsys provides installers with a choice in how best to accommodate complicated rooftop installations much more quickly and easily, regardless of shading, obstruction or size. Additionally, because Enecsys provides flexible cabling as part of the Enecsys Micro Inverter System, installations do not require complex high voltage DC wiring, which makes for an intrinsically safer working environment.  Enecsys micro inverters deliver maximum performance with the highest quality and reliability.

"I've been very impressed with Enecsys on all fronts.  The micro inverter itself is powerful, convenient, reliable, and economical," said Jim Phee, Operations Director for R&R Solar Supply.  "The modular installation style is very adaptable to changing roof plans without requiring extra cable be cut.  Their support staff is outstanding; helpful, knowledgeable, and very quick to respond to any and all questions.  The monitoring setup is simple and easy, and guided lessons are given by the support team to make the whole process smooth and painless.  I wholeheartedly recommend the Enecsys micro inverter family for all our contractors in Hawaii."

"Enecsys is delighted to engage in a broad based partnership with R&R Solar Supply, a leading solar distributor in Hawaii," said Thomas Nelson, Senior Director of Strategic Accounts.  "The Enecsys solution will enable R&R to deliver a superior Micro Inverter offering to meet the growing demands of the Hawaiian solar market.  The success of R&R Solar Supply and Enecsys' efforts is based on a partnership centered on a long term business relationship philosophy and a clear and unique understanding of the customers exacting requirements."
