MicroBlox at Solar Seminar

BARRIE, ONTARIO - Home Energy Solutions has come out with a new innovative technology to help Ontario residents adopt solar power sooner and cheaper with better efficiency than ever before.

The MicroBlox solar kit combats traditional solar power problems such as limited roof space, shade, snow and debris, and varying seasonal sunlight by harvesting up to 25 more electricity. Residents can also monitor the simple system from any computer with internet connection.

The MicroBlox system uses the breakthrough Enphase DCAC Microinverter System, which harvests power from individual solar panels rather than using one inverter to harvest the entire array. The result is a far more efficient system than traditional solar systems. Once installed, maximum output is achieved through a userfriendly web based monitoring device — Enlighten — to measure and manage electricity production.

This new technology shows huge promise for cleaner and renewable energy in Canada. For the first time ever we have a system that configures to smaller and varying structures while providing more efficiency and reliability at a lower initial investment, says Home Energy Solutions President Dave Egles. Ontario roofs rarely have a large continuous pitch. They have dormers, skylights, valleys and vents. With the smaller solar building blocks, we can put solar on different roof slopes and have the total output combined. The MicroBlox flexibility allows more people to install solar and to participate in programs such as Ontarios MicroFIT program.
