Enphase Microinverters

The safer, smarter way to go solar

Every National Solar residential system uses Enphase microinverters — not because they're the only option, but because they're the best one. Here's why we've standardized on them for every install.

Built-in rapid shutdown

Enphase microinverters include rapid shutdown that instantly de-energizes your roof in an emergency — keeping first responders and utility workers safe.

Low-voltage, low risk

Unlike string inverters that run high-voltage DC across your roof, microinverters convert power at each panel, keeping dangerous voltage off your rooftop wiring.

Panel-level performance

Each panel reports its own output in real time through the Enphase App. Shade on one panel, a bird dropping, a failing module — you see it instantly.

25-year warranty

Enphase microinverters are backed by an industry-leading 25-year limited warranty — the longest standard coverage available for residential solar equipment.

No single point of failure

Each panel operates independently. If one microinverter has an issue your system keeps producing — there is no single failure that takes down your entire array.

Engineered for Oregon weather

Double-insulated polymer casing resists corrosion, moisture, and thermal cycling. NEMA6 / IP67-rated to handle Pacific Northwest winters without skipping a beat.

Run the numbers

The grid keeps climbing. Solar locks it in.

Utility rates rise about 6% a year. A National Solar system fixes most of your cost now, so the gap — and your savings — grows every year you own it.

How it works

One free estimate. Two ways to get it.

Free. No obligation.

$0 down options available

Three ways to go solar. One local team behind all of them.

Lease it, finance it, or buy it outright. At your free estimate, we price your exact system and lay every option side by side against your current power bill, so you can choose with real numbers.

  • Lease

    Lowest cost to start

    Best if you want savings without owning equipment

    • $0 down for qualified homeowners*
    • Fixed monthly payment
    • 0% annual escalation
    • Monitoring and service included
    • Transferable if you sell your home

    You pay a set monthly amount for the system on your roof instead of buying it. Your payment never climbs each year, so you can plan around it while utility rates keep rising.

  • Solar Loan

    Own it, pay over time

    Best if you want ownership with a monthly payment

    • $0 down for qualified homeowners*
    • Rates from 5.99%*
    • You own the system and its power
    • Eligible incentives go to you
    • Payments sized against your current bill

    Finance the system like a home improvement project. You own it from day one, and once the loan is paid off, the power your roof makes is yours at no cost.

  • Purchase

    Maximum long-term value

    Best if you want the biggest lifetime savings

    • No monthly solar payment
    • Highest return over the life of the system
    • Locks in protection from rate hikes
    • Eligible incentives go to you
    • Adds value to your home

    Pay for the system once and own it outright. With no lender or third party involved, every kilowatt-hour your panels produce is a kilowatt-hour you never buy from the utility.

*$0 down and advertised rates are available to qualified applicants and are subject to credit approval, lender requirements, project eligibility, and program availability. Rates, terms, and availability may change without notice. Solar savings are estimates and are not guaranteed.
