Chilicon Power was founded in 2010 by two accomplished engineers, Dr. Christopher Jones and Alexandre Kral. Based in Southern California, Chilicon Power is a private company that has experienced tremendous growth over the past four years. Chilicon Power is dedicated to building the world's most technologically advanced solar system, along with providing excellent customer service.
As a certified and factory-trained Enphase and Generac installer. When it comes to using the micro-inverter you only have two choices. Enphase IQ8 Or Chilicon Power inverters.
With a solar panel of 320 watts or less, it's probably a slight advantage that goes to the Enphase IQ8. As the efficiency is .09% better.
If you want to use a more efficient higher wattage panel (you should want to) Then it's an easy choice as the IQ8 will cap production at 295 watts per hour and the cap on the Chilicon Power is 360 watts per hour.
We call this clipping and it's important to know as panels get more efficient and higher in wattage.
So the best decision is based on the panel wattage when choosing micro inverters.
Hope this helps
For the last several weeks the software has been doubling the production overnight. No extra production through my net meter.Anyone else seeing this? They say they are updating.
Have been up and running since May 2020. Only issue was connecting the Gateway to a outlet that had the communication on the other 120v run. Everything operated fine, just the inverter communication was weak. Emailed Chilicon and got the problem resolved within an hour or two. Since then, smooth sailing. The amount of inverter operation info from the Gateway is impressive. Tons of data for the customer and Chilicon to remotely see how the inverters are running. Seems like a well designed setup.
