About the project
This system is a well-sized 'starter resilience' build — enough solar to bring the FPL bill down to near-zero, plus a single Enphase IQ Battery 10 for essential-loads backup rather than whole-home. That's a deliberate sizing choice: for many South Florida homes, 10 kWh of backup carries the refrigerator, the internet, a few lights, and the bedroom AC through an overnight outage without the expense of a larger stack.
The solar side is 29 REC 395-watt Pure panels paired with Enphase IQ 8+ microinverters. REC's Pure series was chosen for its black-on-black aesthetic and its long-dated Pure Performance warranty — the panels carry REC's 25-year product warranty in addition to the standard 25-year output guarantee, which is rare in the residential market.
