Grid-Tie Solar Electric System with SolarWorld Sunmodule Plus 280W and Enphase M250 MicroInverters.
Package includes the major components for installation as outlined above plus Unirac, PCM or similar Module Mounting hardware for standard shingle roof. The Balance of System [BOS] components may be purchased separately a la carte, as a package when purchased with the Engineering option, or may be supplied by the installer.
System Engineering:
Level 1 – Basic Engineering. System Electric String Sizing must be verified for each specific zip code to ensure that over-voltage does not occur during low temperature conditions; severe damage can occur to the inverter if not properly sized. Wind loads must be determined for proper mounting hardware spacing; you must provide a basic system layout to our engineering department in order to verify spacing requirements. This service is provided with the basic kit purchase.
Level 2 – Custom Engineering. Engineering Design is available as an option. This service includes a custom design for your specific residential application [commercial systems vary, call for details]; our engineers work together with you and/or your installer to design a system and determine a complete BOS component list. We supply site specific Electrical Schematic, CAD drawings and Engineering Submittals sealed by our Florida Professional Engineer [PE] ready for submission to the building department. Building Departments in other states may require a local engineer review and seal at an additional cost. Our Engineering Department and Installation Department will assist you with technical questions pertaining to your installation.
Level 3 – Custom Engineering with Balance of System. This includes Level 2 Custom Engineering plus the Balance of System components; a custom tailored package of all components to complete the installation [except conduit].
Installation – These systems can be installed by the do-it-yourselfer, however, the wiring connections should be installed by a qualified electrical or solar contractor. Some rebate programs require a Licensed Contractor to qualify for the rebate. Solar Direct offers installation services in Florida and some other limited service areas. We can also work with your choice of contractors; please call for quotation.

Product Features:
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE
- Solar World Sunmodule®
With plus sorting, SolarWorld only delivers modules that are factory-tested to meet or exceed their name plate power rating – even after initial light induced degradation. By delivering actual power, plus-sorting minimizes module mismatch losses and eliminates name plate tolerance losses, which can account for up to 5% in modeling programs like PVWatts and PVSyst. Sunmodule® solar panels are also independently tested to strict international standards for safety, durability.
SolarWorld produces the highest quality and can guarantee the best performance. That’s why SolarWorld is the first solar company to offer a 25-year linear performance guarantee and a 10-year product workmanship warranty. According to this guarantee, the actual power of a new module cannot deviate from the specified rated power by more than 3% during the first year; and afterward, the power will not decrease by more than 0.7 percent of the rated power per year. So at year 10, the Sunmodule’s capacity is guaranteed to be at least 90% of the nameplate as opposed to the industry standard guarantee of 80%. This is added value that can help you get your project financed.
The high performance monocrystalline cells used in the Sunmodule are sealed in transparent EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) between impact resistant tempered glass and a durable TPT (tedlar-polyester-tedlar) backsheet.
