Industry Leading Solar Panels*

Isolara products feature solar panels manufactured by Canadian Solar Inc. The panels are suited for Ontario’s climate and are world renowned for their high quality construction, superior power yields and long-term productivity. All Panels are manufactured to the strictest engineering guidelines, ensuring each module meets the international standards of quality and safety. Canadian Solar Inc. guarantees world class stability and reliability backed by 25 years performance warranty

Key Features:

  • Strong framed module, passing mechanical load test of 5400Pa to withstand heavier snow load
  • Industry leading power tolerance: +/-5W (+/-2.5%)
  • 6 years product warranty (materials and workmanship); 25 years module power output warranty
  • The 1st manufacturer in PV industry certified for ISO:TS16949 (The automotive quality management system) in module production since 2003
  • ISO17025 qualified manufacturer owned testing lab, fully complying to IEC, TUV, UL testing standards

Microinverter Technology*

Isolara systems are paired with the latest in microinverter technology to convert DC power generated at the solar panels to AC electricity which is compatible with the electrical grid. This technology uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to calculate and respond to temperature and light changes detected on a solar power system. The technology determines how much power to draw from each of the modules. The individual microinverter approach has shown to increase power conversion by 10-15% over a typically central string inverter system.

Key Features:

  • Increased Productivity – MPPT technology increase energy harvest by as much as 25% over traditional systems.
  • Reliable – If a String inverter fails the entire system is disabled; if a microinverter fails only the single module is down the rest continue to operate as usual.
  • Reduced Operational Cost/Flexibility – The system uses a quick connect design to speed the installation as well as allow the flexibility to expand to additional solar modules without requiring the replacement of a large centralized inverter.

Web Based Performance Monitoring*

Isolara’s systems take full advantage of microinverter technology allowing owners the ability to monitor systems performance from virtually anywhere. The microinverters in the solar module communicate with the Envoy unit providing information on each modules performance. The EMU then communicates the data to a web based program allowing owners to view production and receive instant alerts if an anomaly such as debris is affecting a panel.

Key Features:

  • No additional wiring is required.
  • Owners of the system get a graphical representation of the solar array while receiving "at a glance" information on the status of each module.
  • Provides an array of analysis and tracking tools.
