Since 2010, Chilicon Power has been manufacturing the world's most technologically advanced solar system. The only 100% American made inverter, Chilicon Power has been growing rapidly over the past four years (1000% plus) as installers and homeowners have become aware of our superior product. We've recently launched the groundbreaking CP-720, the most powerful microinverter available. A twin inverter, it produces 720 watts of power- 360 per module- and is compatible with any panel on the market. The CP-720 is extremely cost effective, as well. In addition, our revolutionary monitoring system (the Gateway) leads the industry in both aesthetics and performance. Featuring a 7 inch touch screen with color graphics, the Gateway boasts an extremely robust PLC that has a 500 foot range and doesn't get knocked off by noise or interference. It also offers add-on features such as home security and consumption monitoring. The Gateway is, in essence, an all-in-one smart home hub. In summation, Chilicon Power manufacturers a high tech microinverter system at a competitive price, right here in the USA.

Micro-Inverter and a solar panel with more than 320 watts, Chilicon is your only choice

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

Software problems

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.

Running great

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.

Almost Great

Performance-wise the cp-720 micro inverters seem to be working very well and I love the physical gateway device as as well as cloud monitoring. My system has been operational since October 2020. I took away a star for their complete lack of direct customer support. Fortunately my installer was able to work with Chilicon Power to address some in-the-end minor concerns. Still to this day, the output readings on the gateway and the output readings on the cloud differ by about 3 kWh daily. Through my installer, Chilicon states that they will correct this problem with a future firmware update. They say that the higher cloud readings are correct.

Customer Sevice

Customer service did start off shaky however they came through in the end with remote logging in to the system and helping with the programming. These micro-inverters can do much more than the average so be prepared for a steep curve. They need more tutorials online.
