Professional Solar Installers

Two weeks ago, we turned on our solar system installed by Nova Solar. On a partly cloudy day (rain in the morning, sunny afternoon with blue sky and some clouds), our solar system produced 44 kWh. When we got a perfect sunny day with blue sky and no clouds recently, our solar system recently produced 92.0 kWh based on the Enphase monitoring dashboard. Based on Nova Solar’s design of our solar system, 66.3 kWh of electricity is the projected daily generation for the month of April, so our solar is working as designed !! Jake, LB, Max, Trip, Julian, and Barklie are all very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Jake, our project manager, kept us informed throughout the process. He handled the paperwork and coordinated with county inspectors, utility company, and HOA. Nova Solar’s stay up to date with installation components and techniques to make the whole installation process efficient. Trip, Julian, and the installation team arrived early and finished installing our 34 panel solar system in 6 hours. Jake and the Nova Solar team provided a detailed write-up after the project was completed. One reason why I chose Nova Solar is because of the technical analysis provided in their blogs, especially this one - https://novasolar.com/inverter-sizing-determining-the-perfect-dcac-ratio/ Based on reading the blogs and case studies on Nova Solar’s website, there were many concepts that I didn’t understand, so I spent some time learning about solar energy systems and the Enphase components. Finally, got a basic understanding of NREL’s System Advisor Model (SAM) Tool that helped me understand all the variables that will affect actual electricity production by a solar system.
