Why PLUG?

Our Photovoltaic Latest technology Updated Grid systems are state of the art modular solar systems that are revolutionizing the industry with superb performance, quality and affordability. These systems connect and work in conjunction with your local electrical grid and without the need of batteries. Operation is simple- systems will produce all their power during the daylight hours, 'exporting' the surplus to the grid. At night, when power harvest has diminished, you will 'import' the excess power produced during the day.

We pride ourselves on providing practical, effective, and managable systems that have changed the way people look at solar energy. In addition to PLUG, we offer dozens of other systems that build on the power and reliability of the original systems. We have installed systems for residential clients, businesses, and even schools- proving that we have set the standard for solar energy.

Installation: PLUG uses ‘plug & play’ technology, which makes installation simple and very inexpensive. Final connection to the grid should always be done by a licensed electrician. Also, unlike traditional systems, the PLUG can be installed over several different roof surfaces to maximize power harvest without any loss in effeciency.

Simplicity: Because PLUG are integrated with the local grid, there are no expensive batteries to maintain or replace every few years, no bulky inverter to install and no dangerous high voltage DC lines. Our systems are literally maintenance free and ready for Net Metering.

Reliability: Traditional systems rely on strings of panels connected in series. If a single panel’s performance decreases for any reason, it will bring the rest of the panels to a lower performance level. PLUG components work independently and the performance of one panel will not affect the others. PLUG comes with Maximum Power Point Tracking technology (MPPT) that allows the micro inverter to communicate with the panel and set the ideal voltage and amperage for maximum power output.

Monitoring: Traditional systems have rudimentary means of monitoring the production of the entire system. PLUG has the ability to monitor individual panel production, complete system production and system status. Also, daily, monthly and lifetime production is available. This is the most sophisticated and easy to use monitoring system. To learn more, click the button below.

Flexibility: PLUG systems are easily expandable to increase their system power, making upgrades simple and cost effective. Increasing the power on a traditional system will require the replacement of the expensive central inverter, making the upgrade costly and more complicated.

Design: At no extra cost, we can design a system that will satisfy your particular needs. Systems are available in a single phase or 3 phase from 1kW to over 500kW to cover the needs of residential, commercial and institutional customers.

Performance: PLUG systems have unsurpassed performance, producing more power for longer periods of time. PLUG will start producing power earlier in the day and continue to produce power until sundown. Our systems use the latest Enphase M215 Micro-inverters, which are unaffected by shadows and other conditions that so greatly affect traditional systems.
