1. Continuing Improvements!
You will notice some subtle changes over the next few months
to the Cascade Series PV module and mounting system. These
changes are exciting as we're making advancements with our
materials and design to provide customers with an even better
product.
Quick Links Quality, Reliability & Confidence
Silicon Energy Homepage We're consistently reminded by our partners that the durability
of our module and the reliability of our equipment gives you
SiE 3840/5300 Solar confidence in your installations.
Inverter(s)
We want to share with you that in addition to National
Cascade PV Modules and Renewable Energy Labs (NREL) testing, Silicon Energy's
Mounting System products have now been field tested for 3.5 years, in multiple
states and under a wide variety of environmental
Silicon Energy Installation conditions. We're proud to state that 99.94% of our Cascade
Photo Gallery Series PV modules and approximately 99% of our new SiE3840
and SiE5300 Silicon Energy inverters are performing
flawlessly.
Contact US We're extremely proud of the Cascades' performance and the
reliability of our new inverters.

Whidbey Sun and Wind install For fun, we parked our one-ton truck on top of a Silicon Energy
Cascade Series module. NO DAMAGE!
This is just an indication of the durability which is key to the
performance longevity of our equipment. Although not
indestructible, the Cascade is an amazingly durable solar
PV product.
We don't, however, recommend parking on your rooftop.
Silicon Energy Modules are PID-Free
Global Green Energy install Over the past decade, performance degradation and power loss
have been observed in PV modules operating in the field when
exposed to humidity and temperature changes. This is referred
to as potential-induced degradation (PID). Present safety
testing standards (i.e., UL, ETL, CSA, TUV, etc.) do not
adequately test the durability of modules for PID. Modules,
regardless of the technology used (crystalline or thin film) in
continuously wet climates are expected to show the greatest
effects of PID, due to moisture being the most important
environmental factor affecting module performance.
NREL's results, in combination with other research, suggest PV
3. module PID is exacerbated in wet climates more than in dry
climates.
Silicon Energy's use of PID-free solar cells in combination with
our high-durability module construction provides superior
protection from PID. Additionally, Silicon Energy has
undergone severe environmental testing, including PID testing,
with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) since
2009 that clearly shows that our product is the most durable on
the market. More reasons to choose Silicon Energy for your
Powerfully Green install investment in solar PV.

Considered the benefits of DC
Optimizers?
DC optimizers offer installers and end-users a highly efficient,
cost effective and reliable method of addressing module-level
shading, monitoring, and safety. Tigo Energy's website has a
Hometown Electric install
short paper summarizing these benefits and more. To learn
more about this intelligent solution, click on the optimizer!
