In our most recent webinar, SMA’s Brandon Davis, Director of Distribution, and Tanya Layfield, Territory Sales Manager, joined BayWa r.e.’s Strategic Partnerships Manager, Daniela Schwartzman for a session focused on helping installers navigate this evolving landscape. This webinar brought together industry expertise and real-world insights to help solar professionals turn repowering into a scalable, profitable part of their business. 

Officially named, “The Technical and Business Case for a Repeatable Repowering & O&M Model,” you can watch the full webinar here or read the blog below for information that was shared in the session.

Why Repowering Is Happening Now

During the webinar, Brandon Davis states, “Repowering, in our minds, is the opportunity to upgrade an existing photovoltaic systems inverter and enhance it and maintain the original system functionality but potentially bring additional feature sets to your customer.” Aging inverters, expired warranties, declining system performance, and the absence of the original installer are leaving system owners with limited support. As a result, repowering is becoming a core offering for installers looking to stay competitive while delivering real value to their customers.

Identifying and Qualifying Repowering Opportunities

Another key focus of the discussion was how installers can efficiently identify repowering opportunities. The SMA team shared practical guidance on evaluating systems based on age, inverter brand, warranty status, and production loss. These indicators allow installers to prioritize leads and focus efforts where repowering delivers the most impact.

Creating a Repeatable Sales and Operations Model

Beyond technical considerations, the session explored how to structure internal teams to support a successful repowering and O&M strategy. From lead generation and site assessment to sales, permitting, and installation, clearly defined roles and workflows are essential for efficiency and profitability.

Brandon and Tanya also shared insights into customer conversations as well as messaging strategies that will help installers build trust with their customers. When the original installer is no longer in business, homeowners and commercial system owners are often uncertain or frustrated. Clear, transparent communication can turn that uncertainty into confidence and long-term relationships.

The post Inside the Install: Building a Repeatable, Profitable Repowering and O&M Model appeared first on BayWa r.e. Solar Systems.

Last week, Enphase joined BayWa r.e. to discuss their latest product in commercial solar: the IQ9N Commercial Microinverter. Chad Bodmer, the Commercial Industrial Trainer at Enphase, joined BayWa r.e.’s Strategic Partnerships Manager, Daniela Schwartzman in an exclusive webinar. Chad Bodmer walked through everything you need to know about this purpose-built solution for 480V three-phase systems. 

Officially named, “BayWa r.e. + Enphase: Introducing the IQ9N Commercial Microinverter,” you can watch the full webinar here or read the blog for some vital information that was shared in the session below. 

Why Commercial Microinverters? Why Now?

Chad opened the webinar by highlighting what makes microinverters the new standard in commercial solar. The value proposition is clear: made in the USA (qualifying for domestic content requirements, FEOC compliant, highest energy production, unmatched reliability, and the lowest operating cost in the industry.

What really sets Enphase’s microinverters apart is their distributed architecture. There’s no single point of failure, and the production of one module never limits the others. This translates to a greater system uptime and easier maintenance with total transparency and monitoring. Plus, with 25-year microinverter and 15-year gateway warranties, you’re covered for the long haul. 

The Enphase Reliability Advantage 

Here’s a statistic that speaks volumes: Enphase’s 1Q9N Commercial Microinverter defect rate is just 0.05%. That means only one microinverter out of every two thousand may need replacement each year.

The reason for this reliability? No fans, no moving parts, and no high-voltage DC. Fewer failures mean fewer truck rolls and more uptime. And because their microinverters are so small, Enphase can confirm this reliability through batch testing. 

Meet the IQ9N Commercial Microinverter 

The star of the show was the IQ9N-3P-277 Commercial Microinverter. Here are some key specs: 

• Operates on 480 V 
• Peak power output of 427 VA 
• Built-in loss of phase protection and rapid shutdown capability 
• Auto phase balancing 
• Can support up to 30 microinverters on a single 20A branch circuit

The commercial microinverter paired with the IQ Gateway Commercial Pro, which offers web-based monitoring and control, bi-directional communications, remote upgrades, power export limiting, and zero export support. Setup is straightforward via the Enphase Installer App, and the gateway connects through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular. One gateway can connect up to 300 microinverters.

The IQ9N Commercial Microinverter comes with a 25-year warranty, while the gateway has a 15-year warranty.

The post PF! E24: Solar financing after 25D: What installers need to know for 2026 appeared first on BayWa r.e. Solar Systems.

Homeowners are asking for more control, more resilience, and more value from their solar investments. In our recent webinar with FranklinWH, BayWa r.e. unpacked how the aPower 2 (AC-coupled battery) and the new aPower S (all-in-one hybrid PV inverter + battery) help you design simpler, stronger, and more flexible solar + storage systems – while protecting your margins and your time.

Below are the key takeaways for residential installers, plus direct links to get the gear you need through the BayWa r.e. Webstore.

Recommended Use-Cases

• New builds/full replacements: Lead with aPower S for DC-coupled efficiency and lower labor time. Add aPower 2 for extra power and capacity without another inverter.

• Retrofits: Add aPower 2 to existing micro or string PV; or add aPower S + new PV to grow production and storage together.

Why aPower S is a Big Deal for New Solar + Storage

All-in-one architecture.
aPower S integrates a hybrid PV inverter and 15 kWh usable battery in one enclosure, cutting parts, conduit runs, and install time. It supports up to 20 kW DC across four MPPTs, each accepting 15 A per string with 600 V DC max and MPPT range of 90–480 V DC—giving you wide stringing flexibility for today’s modules.

Higher system efficiency.
DC-coupled PV to battery minimizes conversion losses and allows simultaneous DC (PV) and AC charging – useful for TOU arbitrage, EV load shifting, and storm prep.

Real-world power.
Continuous discharge is up to 11.5 kW when PV is producing, and 10 kW on battery-only – plenty for 240 V loads such as well pumps, mini-splits, ovens, and EV chargers.

Warranty built for longevity.
Each aPower S carries a 15-year warranty or 60 MWh throughput (70 % SOH at end of life). The unit is also warranted for off-grid use, with IP67-rated components in a Type 3R enclosure for outdoor installations.

When aPower 2 Is Still Your Move

If you’re pairing storage to existing PV (microinverters or string inverters), stay lean with the aPower 2 – a 15 kWh usable, AC-coupled battery that’s retrofit-friendly and compatible with most third-party PV inverters.

Mix and match.
You can expand an aPower S system with aPower 2 to add both power and capacity, or start with aPower 2 on an existing PV site and later add an aPower S plus new PV.

Quick reference specs (aPower 2):

• 15 kWh usable energy (1.1 kWh reserve for black-start)

• 10 kW continuous output / 15 kW 10 s peak / 8 kW charge power

• 120/240 V or 120/208 V single-phase compatible

• 15-year / 60 MWh warranty | Off-grid ready | Outdoor rated (IP67, Type 3R)

Code & Compliance—Today and Tomorrow

• Rapid Shutdown (RSD):
  aPower S is listed as PVRSS when installed with approved external RSD devices such as APsmart or Tigo. (Per webinar, FranklinWH is developing its own MCI RSD solution, target timeline 2026.)

• 208 V single-phase compatibility:
  Ideal for multifamily and larger homes using 120/208 V services.

BayWa r.e. Makes Procurement & Planning Easier
