Project notes
About the project
Cutler Bay in 2019 wasn't a solar hotspot. When this homeowner signed with Sprightful that November, most of the neighborhood was still grid-only — and residential battery systems were essentially science fiction at this price point. What the homeowner wanted was simple: a well-engineered, PV-only system from a company that would still be around in twenty years to service it.
Sprightful designed a 35-panel, 10.9 kW array using Mission Solar 310-watt modules — all made in Texas — paired with SolarEdge's HD-Wave SE10000H inverter and P320 DC optimizers. The optimizer topology was deliberate: the home sits in a mature South Florida neighborhood with a lot of afternoon shade, and DC optimization prevents any one shaded panel from dragging down the string. The install finished in three days (Nov 13–15, 2019) and the system has been quietly producing power for over six years.
