Why you Should Buy
Solar in a Box
 A solar photovoltaic micro-inverter is a device that converts direct current
(DC) from a single solar module (panel) to alternating current (AC). Solar electric
(photovoltaic) systems are good for your pocketbook and for the environment.
Solar electric systems cleanly generate electricity from the ultimate renewable
source - sunlight. The systems have no moving parts, require minimal maintenance
and will produce power for more than 25 years!
A grid-tied solar electric system reduces the amount of electricity that you
purchase from your utility and offers protection from rising electric rates. The
power from a solar electric system is cleaner and more sustainable than electricity
from traditional utility sources. The federal government offers a 30% tax
credit rebate for solar system purchases and additional rebates are available
from PG&E while funds last.
The basic technology behind solar electric systems is proven and reliable, with
widespread testing and usage in power generation for over 50 years. Solar
in a Box is the next step in solar power.
The Advantages of Solar in a Box
 By
utilizing the latest available solar technology and researching the most important
considerations of homeowners, Ready Solar has developed its system to provide
homeowners with unmatched advantages over traditionally available solar installations. Download
a summary of the advantages here.
High Performance – Micro-inverter
design allows each panel to perform independently,
maximizing system production under partially
shaded conditions and early or late in the day. This
provides a 5% to 25% production gain over traditional
string inverter systems. In traditional
systems, a little shade on any single panel will bring down the production
of the entire system. A Solar in a Box system does not have this limitation
and will produce more power.
Quality – Solar
in a Box systems are assembled and wired in a
factory controlled environment. This significantly
reduces the opportunity for errors in assembly
and wiring - especially on a hot, steep or wet
roof.
Modular Design – Ready
Solar systems are easily expanded by simply adding
more Rooftop power units. Traditional
solar electric systems cannot be expanded without
complicated redesign of the system and expensive
equipment upgrades.
Superior
Aesthetics – The
patented Solar in a Box frame finishes to less
than 2” off the roof while still allowing
4” underneath
the modules for cooling and increased production. The
beveled frame hides wiring and racking and makes
the system blend into the roof like a skylight. Micro-inverter
design eliminates the wall-mounted inverters
and disconnect boxes that are required with traditional
systems.
System
Monitoring – Solar
in a Box comes standard with panel level, web-based,
and proactive system monitoring. This unique
monitoring system protects a homeowner’s
investment by reducing the cost of maintenance,
ensuring maximum system production and providing
automatic email notifications if maintenance
is required.
Warranty – Solar
in a Box comes with an industry leading 25 year
module production, 15 year inverter and 15 year
frame warranty.
Total Life Cycle Cost – The
low profile design of a Ready Solar system reduces
the chance of debris collecting under the solar
panels, reducing maintenance. The pre-assembled
design means that the system is easy to remove
and reinstall should re-roofing be required. Traditional
solar systems must be completely disassembled
piece by piece and then completely reassembled during
re-roofing.
Safety – A Solar in a
Box system is safer than traditional solar because
the microinverter design eliminates the hazardous
high voltage DC (600V) wiring run (across the
roof and down the side of the house) that is
typical of a traditional solar installation.
Sizing a System
Solar in a Box systems are fully modular. It is easy to start small and
add on later. The right size system is determined by:
- Your budget
- Your available, relatively shade-free, roof
space (Valley can and
will help you assess this).
- Your desired
electric bill savings.
