3. Why Should You Go Solar Now?
Take control of your electricity rates
Protect yourself from future rate hikes
Reduce dependence on foreign energy
Help the earth
Reduce global warming
Make America stronger
6. What is fueling the growth
Great incentives (Missouri
with the best incentives in
the country right now)
Energy costs escalation
Solar module costs have
plummeted in last 2 years
(Cost have leveled out and
we are seeing price
increases due to the tariffs
the US has imposed China)
Aesthetics improved
Massive growth in interest,
mainstreaming across US
Double digit increases from
Ameren last 4 years, This year
14% and expected to
continue over the next 5-10
years

14. Plus Sorting
There is a difference
With plus sorting, SolarWorld only delivers
modules that are factory-tested to meet or
exceed their name plate power rating. By
delivering actual power, plus – sorting
ensures that your system operates at top
efficiency which results in maximum energy
yield, year after year.

PVWatts Actual Performance vs Prediction
The performance of nearly 650 solar installations is compared to PVWatts
predictions. Enphase sites are shown in orange, standard inverter sites in grey.
21. Maximum Performance
Enphase Microverters are installed beneath the solar modules on the roof, and they convert
the maximum power from each module into standard AC electricity.
Enphase Microinverter
Worlds most efficient microinverter
Supports low-light and low-voltage
operation
Innovative cabling for fast and easy
installation
22. Simplified Networking
The Envoy Communications Gateway monitors the health and performance of each
microinverter and solar module, and it sends this information to the system owner and
installer via the Internet
Envoy Gateway
Plug & Play setup
Communicates over existing
electrical wires
Connects to standard broadband

23. Advanced Monitoring
The Enlighten web-based software provides system owners and installers with detailed
performance information and analytics about the solar system, as well as at-a-glance views
and automated alerts.
