Enphase Energy Chosen by Flywheel Development for Commercial Solar Projects
May 14 2020 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that Flywheel Development LLC has selected Enphase
microinverters as the inverter technology of record for its
portfolio of commercial solar projects. Based in Washington D.C.,
Flywheel Development is a leading sustainable development company
active in real estate, sustainable design, solar development, and
stormwater management infrastructure, with a focus on
high-performance, net-zero buildings.
Flywheel has standardized its portfolio of commercial and
multi-unit dwelling solar projects on Enphase microinverters due to
their high degree of design flexibility. Among the Flywheel solar
project portfolio in the greater D.C. area is Nicholas Landing, a
newly constructed, nine-unit housing development owned by the
Housing Commission of Talbot County, Maryland, and funded in part
by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.
Nicholas Landing complements the architectural style of the
surrounding structures and therefore required Flywheel to design a
solar system that spans the shared roofs of the buildings across
numerous, variably pitched planes. To meet the requirement for an
equitable distribution of energy output to each of the residential
units, Flywheel used HelioScope solar design software to determine
which combination of differently oriented solar modules should
interconnect to each of the nine units. The distributed
architecture, which underpins the Enphase microinverter system,
allowed for maximum flexibility in defining the ideal combination
of modules on each AC branch circuit.
“We bring human-centered design and a firm belief in the power
of innovation to every project at Flywheel, and the support from
the Enphase commercial solar team helps us efficiently deliver
advanced solar solutions to our customers and communities,” said
Jessica Pitts, co-founder and principal at Flywheel Development
LLC. “Using Enphase microinverters removes several prominent design
constraints of legacy solar technologies, improving our ability to
imagine and build high-performance, resilient buildings. The
collaboration with Enphase is off to a great start, and our design
team is already putting the benefits of microinverter technology to
work on projects that are in the early design phase.”
Flywheel Development uses seventh-generation Enphase IQ™
microinverters, which leverage Enphase’s 55 nm custom ASIC for
higher reliability and better economies of scale. Enphase solar
inverter technology is designed to support residential as well as
commercial solar applications with a unique, software-defined
architecture and built-in support for Rapid Shutdown and California
Rule 21 requirements. Enphase microinverters are subjected to a
rigorous reliability and quality testing regiment with over one
million cumulative hours of test cycles in heat, high humidity,
salty air, and extreme cold. Seventh-generation Enphase
microinverters are designed to be long-lived energy assets and do
not contain complicated moving parts or easily breakable
components, such as fans, and are backed by a 25-year warranty.
“The Flywheel team takes a holistic and scientific approach to
net-zero energy buildings, and we are proud to support them with
world-class solar inverter technology,” said Dave Ranhoff, chief
commercial officer at Enphase Energy. “We are committed to
empowering solar installers with a combination of the best products
and an outstanding customer experience. I am delighted to see
leaders in sustainable development like Flywheel take full
advantage of what Enphase has to offer.”
