Overview

The first and only commercial HVAC system that integrates directly with solar power
Available exclusively for the Energence® rooftop unit as a factory-installed option
Each Solar-Ready Energence rooftop unit can accommodate up to 21 solar panels
Microinverter technology individually controls the panels making the system safer and more reliable
Changes to the building’s electrical wiring infrastructure are not required for most applications
Communication module provides online monitoring of system status, energy production and environmental benefits in real-time
Recognized as a Buildings Magazine "Money-Saving Product" in 2011
2011 ACHR News Dealer Design Awards "Gold" Winner in the Light Commercial HVAC category
2011 Platts Global Energy Award Finalist and Award of Excellence recipient in the Sustainable Technology of the Year category
Architectural Products magazine 2011 Product Innovation Award winner in the HVAC/Ventilation category

Efficiency

Effective efficiency of 34 SEER6 and beyond
Reduces dependence on the energy grid during peak load times for substantial energy savings
Building owners can also qualify for tax credits, rebates and government subsidies
Utility credits can be earned for energy sent back to the power grid

Components

Solar modules feature a fully integrated plug-and-play system for easy installation
Modules are designed to efficiently and effectively capture the sun’s energy
Microinverters convert DC power harnessed by the modules to AC power and send it to the rooftop unit
If one solar module is compromised, other solar modules are not affected and continue to perform optimally

Monitoring

Communication module provides real-time monitoring of system status, energy production and environmental benefits
Data is sent from each solar module through a building’s internal power lines where it is collected by the communication module
Once installed, the system automatically monitors and analyzes the solar installation 24/7
Viewable on a secure website, feedback from the SunSource system gives a detailed picture of environmental impact and energy savings

Benefits

Each SunSource system reduces a building’s carbon footprint and CO₂ emissions by using the clean, renewable energy of the sun
Helps buildings meet ASHRAE Green Standard 189.1 requirements to be solar ready
Helps buildings meet LEED® EAC2 On-Site Renewable Energy Credit
