“Enphase has been a trusted partner as our business has grown. Using their new three-phase commercial IQ8-3P Microinverter for this project made good sense, and the installation for Emmanuel Lutheran Church was just as easy as installing a residential project. Icon Power is thrilled to be making a meaningful impact for the church, their parishioners, and their community today and for years to come.”

Why solar?
After a successful Enphase solar installation was completed on the home of Gary Kiser, a patron at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, he approached Pastor Patricia Lowe with the idea of having solar panels installed on the church.
The church agreed to investigate how an investment in solar might impact its bottom line. Nonprofit organizations have to be disciplined to maximize their budgets, and the church found it had the potential to reduce monthly electricity bills by approximately 70% to 90%, depending on the month.
As well as immediate savings, future-proofing against electricity rate increases is a major benefit of going solar. For this church, choosing an Enphase solar system allows for an attractive return on investment—and once the investment is paid off by the monthly savings, that money can go toward other important initiatives to service the community.
Why Enphase?
Selecting quality materials is imperative for every customer, but product selection becomes an even bigger focus for a nonprofit entity that needs to maximize its ability to support its community.
Icon Power, the trusted solar installer who designed this commercial solution, didn’t hesitate to select Enphase IQ8 Commercial Microinverters for Emmanuel Lutheran Church. As Jordan Bastian from Icon shares, “Enphase product quality and support have been amazing. When we recommend Enphase, we know our customers are getting a great solution with a leading 25-year warranty.”
