Boots on the Roof Training Program Features SolarBridge AC Module System in Solar Boot Camp
Austin, TX (February 6, 2012) – Boots on the Roof, the solar industry’s trusted source for education and training, is pleased to announce a training partnership with SolarBridge Technologies (SolarBridge), the leading developer of module-integrated microinverters for the solar industry. Boots on the Roof will feature “Microinverters and Integrated AC Modules,” an educational program on how to install AC module systems powered by SolarBridge in their upcoming six day Solar PV Boot Camp.
Roof-ReadyTM AC modules powered by SolarBridge cut field installation time by up to 20 percent and deliver up to 25 percent more energy harvest over central inverter-based systems. SolarBridge Pantheon microinverters are factory-installed on the back of modules by module manufacturers and the entire AC module is backed by a single 25-year warranty.
“We are excited to work with Boots on the Roof to introduce this powerful new solution to the solar industry,” said Joe Scarci, VP of Marketing for SolarBridge. “AC modules powered by SolarBridge microinverters provide the lowest installed cost for rooftop solar. SolarBridge microinverters are designed for high reliability and don’t contain any failure-prone components such as electrolytic capacitors, giving installers confidence that they are implementing a solution they can trust.”
“Boots on the Roof is committed to educating our students on the latest and most innovative solutions on the market,” said Chuck Rames, program director for Boots on the Roof. “We know that solar technology evolves rapidly and we look to partners like SolarBridge to share information on cutting-edge products such as the SolarBridge AC Module system.”
SolarBridge’s technology will also be featured in Boots’ Commercial Solar Business and Sales and Commercial Solar PV Construction classes.
