10kW Solar, Syndenham United Church

As part of Greening Sacred Spaces we designed and installed a 10 kW Enphase micro-inverter MicroFIT solar power system.

IN THE NEWS: Brantford Expositor; Brant News

Syndenham United Church in Brantford, ON Obvious roof work needed. Great surface area to work with! Many tall ladders had to be used -- it's critical that our installers are all Fall Safety Certified. If you need a new roof, it's a good idea to take care of that before installing solar panels. New roof shingles were required before installing the solar panels that will be on there for more than 20 years Half the rails are installed here. All rails must be installed and secured before we can put on the Enpahse Micro-Inverters All rails must be installed and secured before we can put on the Enpahse Micro-Inverters Full view of the church from the street. We're ready to put on the micro-inverters. Checking the work Syndenham Unit Church lawn sign The Enphase Micro-Inverters are being attached to the mounting rails The solar modules start to go on. You can see the Enphase Micro-Inverters attached to the rails -- one inverter per panel is required Half way done - looks good! Installation in progress. Work in progress - Start of Day 2, already half done Work in progress - Start of Day 2, already half done Just a few more panels to mount. The installers are discussing the finsihing touches.
