This single-family home is powered by a robust 15.3 kW solar system, installed in 2019 and built for long-term performance. The system includes 47 premium Panasonic VBHN325KA03 all-black panels known for their exceptional efficiency and temperature stability, even in high-heat conditions. It’s powered by a single SolarEdge HD-Wave SE10000H-US inverter — a string inverter paired with power optimizers on each panel.

Unlike microinverter systems, where each panel converts energy independently, this setup uses a central inverter with optimizers to monitor and manage the performance of each panel. This hybrid approach provides higher efficiency than traditional string systems while simplifying maintenance and reducing upfront equipment costs compared to microinverters.

The system is mounted using IronRidge Racking, known for its strength, long-term reliability, and clean, low-profile finish.

In its first year, the system produced 13,520 kWh — and has reduced approximately 54 tons of CO₂ emissions to date.
