Key Features: With integrated SunSpec rapid shutdown technology and built-in mounting bracket, more power. more flexibility, more profit, it stands on its own, and a whole lot more
What Makes them Different: SMA is a top-ranked O&M provider and manages a portfolio of more than 3.5 GW under contract globally.
5. ABB Power

Product Details: ABB’s wide range of solar inverters, including micro and string inverters, low-voltage devices, and energy storage systems, combine to allow both residential and commercial customers to maximize their energy use and ensure that the local grid is completely integrated and compliant.
Key Features: Their residential and commercial solar solutions also offer knowledge through remote automation, control, and communications systems to communicate with the grid. This makes them a fully integrated smart grid component and allows advanced applications such as demand response and virtual power plants. The rooftop solar offering therefore helps to preserve the critical equilibrium between generation and demand. It helps ensure the reliability of the grid, efficiently utilizes peaks of solar generation, controls peak demands, and protects grid delivery infrastructure as load increases.
What Makes them Different: With a track record in solar since the 1990s, global presence, and expertise from solar systems to grid connection and integration to smart grids and microgrids.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are your procedures for ensuring a contactless installation process?
Solar is installed on the roof or the ground, and we already observed social distancing procedures. Our crews wear safety equipment including Personal Protection Equipment to prevent the spread of COVID-19 not only to our clients but also within our crews.
2. How is the sales process if we cannot meet in person?
With just a few pieces of information about your solar project, we can design an online solar proposal for your review. We then set a time to review the proposal by phone or Zoom to answer any questions you have. The financing process is paperless and contactless, any hard copies are sent by Priority Mail/FedEx. All of the contracts and disclosures are contactless using e-signatures.
3. How is the permit process contactless?
Many jurisdictions are starting to allow online permit applications and communication is facilitated by email. Final inspections are still completed in person, but social distancing and PPE are used to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
4. How do we ensure our installation crews are COVID-19-free?
Any of our installers who show up to work with an elevated temperature, coughing, fever, or other sickness, are sent home until the symptoms have subsided.
5. Where can I find more information about COVID-19 and the Solar Industry?
Please check with the SEIA (Solar Energy Industry Association) on all of the latest developments and safety protocols in the solar industry.
