Inverters
Enphase Inverters
Solar panels may be on top, but it’s the inverter that does all the real work. Choosing the right technology is the most critical decision you’ll make when going solar. So, Expert Solar uses Enphase Inverters because they offer the most advanced technology on the market, which means higher production, greater reliability, and unmatched intelligence.
Enphase Inverters are proven to produce more energy than other technologies.
- Firstly, they operate independently, so each panel performs to its fullest. One shaded or dirty panel won’t affect the rest of the system.
- Secondly, the burst technology lets inverters produce more at dawn, dusk, and in low-light conditions, for a longer solar day.
Because they function independently, they are inherently more reliable:
there’s no single point of failure in an inverter system. Plus, we’re obsessive about quality, and our products reflect that.
- If one panel goes down, the others won’t go down with it.
- Enphase inverters undergo the most rigorous product testing in the industry.
- Certainly, we stand by our products with the industry’s highest warranties.
They are safer than other technologies.
- An all-AC system means no high-voltage DC power on your roof.
- Enphase Inverters are commonly chosen for schools since they meet even the strictest government safety requirements.
In addition to the greater energy savings from higher production, Enphase inverters are just a better long-term investment.
- They come with a 25-year warranty; string inverters need to be replaced at least once in the lifetime of the system.
- Streamlined components make for quicker and less costly installations.
- High-quality materials and remote problem-solving save money on repairs.

FAQs
Here are our most frequently asked questions. If you don't see what you're looking for, give us a call!
What is net metering?
The term “net metering” refers to what happens when you are making more electricity than you use. When this excess energy pours over into the grid, it’s counted up, and after a certain amount of time, your power bill will quite literally be paying you. Before they pay you, though, you can use the power you put into the grid as excess at the wholesale price you put it in for.
Net metering is offered in the state of Virginia, so it’s best to take advantage of it while it’s there. Also, keep in mind that enrollment is open to a first-come, first-serve basis, so act quickly!
When will I start seeing my return on investment?
Depending on the size of your project and the initial investment, you could start seeing an ROI immediately. A return on investment in solar power is seen when the initial startup costs are paid for in energy savings. This payback period depends on how much your initial costs were. Also how much energy your system can create. If you take advantage of the available credits, then your actual investment can be made back in as little as four to six years in some cases and potentially less time if you install your own system.
Additionally, those concerned about selling their home prior to their solar system being paid off should be aware that solar panels actually increase a home’s value. According to the HUD, for every $1,000 a household saves on energy, the home’s value increases by $20,000.
Do I need a tracking system to follow the sun's pattern?
Solar panels are properly positioned to maximize the sun’s energy when they are first installed. Therefore, they don’t require an additional tracking system to follow the sun’s pattern.
Some systems can have additional components added that allow the panels to change position throughout the day as the sun moves. However, these rarely improve energy efficiency enough to justify the added expense.
Today, a more cost-effective solution is to add one or two additional solar panels instead, as an alternative to a tracking system. This will allow for increased energy production and benefit from financial rebates as well.
Can I claim solar panels on my taxes?
Yes! When you install a solar system, 22% of your total project costs, including equipment, permitting and installation, can be claimed as a credit on your federal tax return. If you spend $10,000 on your system, then you owe $2,200 less in taxes the following year.
You claim the credit in the year the installation is completed. Also, keep all your receipts. The more you spend on your solar conversion, the larger your tax credit.
