Leader in Helping Solar Power Owners Optimize Their Systems’ Output and Savings
The Solar Inverter Home Installation project was completed by EnergyAid to restore functionality to a homeowner’s solar system after a critical equipment failure. The original inverter had stopped working, forcing the homeowner back onto costly utility power and the original installer was no longer available due to bankruptcy. EnergyAid procured and installed a compatible replacement inverter, reconfigured the system and established new monitoring capabilities, returning the home to energy independence and long-term reliability.
