Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), and Folsom Labs announced the
availability of Folsom Labs’ advanced HelioScope
solar photovoltaic (PV) system design software for commercial Enphase
installations. Folsom Labs has incorporated Enphase® Microinverter
Systems—including the new C250 microinverter for medium- and large-scale
commercial installations—into HelioScope to streamline the sales and
engineering workflow for commercial PV system designers.
“Companies such as Folsom Labs are driving innovation in the solar value
chain to directly accelerate the adoption of solar power generation,”
said Stefan Zschiegner, vice president of product management at Enphase
Energy. “As a cloud-based platform, Folsom Labs’ project collaboration
technology allows EPCs to share designs with Enphase and project finance
partners to fast-track project development.”
HelioScope helps simplify PV system design and reduce the upfront soft
costs of deploying solar. The integration of the Folsom Labs software
with Enphase systems will permit installers to quickly assess the
viability of each potential commercial project in an efficient and
accurate manner.
“HelioScope breaks the traditional engineering trade-off between speed
and quality to help growing solar installer companies do more with
less,” said Paul Gibbs, CEO of Folsom Labs. “These are the same
qualities that have put Enphase microinverters in high demand – which is
why the combination of the two products has been one of our most
commonly requested features.”
HelioScope not only speeds up the design process, it also incorporates
high-quality production estimates that capture the additional 3-15%
power produced by Enphase’s distributed energy conversion architecture.
Complex layouts can be assembled rapidly, and the calculation of energy
production can be adjusted on the fly as the system is designed.
“As a designer, builder, owner and operator of PV systems, Nexamp
is constantly striving to enhance our system design capabilities and
familiarity with best-in-class technologies,” said Chris Perron, vice
president of operations at Nexamp. “HelioScope helps to streamline the
process, and its integration with leading equipment suppliers like
Enphase is another example of the value that the software provides to
our growing design team.”
Enphase continues to welcome partners such as Folsom Labs who advance
modernization in the solar value supply chain and reduce soft costs. For
a limited time, Enphase installers are eligible to receive a discount on
their Folsom Labs’ HelioScope subscriptions. For more information on
