The best gear, at the lowest prices.
Every Solar Wave system uses all-black REC Alpha Pure-RX panels and Enphase IQ8X microinverters — the same premium tier the big installers charge extra for, at the flat prices on our pricing page. No mystery hardware, no upsells.
REC Alpha Pure-RX solar panels.
REC's flagship panel uses lead-free heterojunction cells and a gapless design to pack more power onto your roof — with a clean, all-black look that disappears into the rooftop. Built to hold over 92% of its output a full 25 years in.
- 88 half-cut bifacial heterojunction cells with gapless technology
- Low −0.24%/°C temperature coefficient — holds output on hot Colorado roofs
- All-black: black backsheet + anodized black frame
- Certified to 35 mm hailstone impact & Fire Type 2

Enphase IQ8X microinverters.
Instead of one big string inverter, every panel gets its own Enphase microinverter — so shade or a single failure never drags down the whole array. The IQ8X is the newest, highest-voltage IQ8, and it can even keep making daytime power when the grid goes down.
- Microgrid-forming — produces power even when the grid is down*
- Per-panel MPPT: shade on one panel won't cut your whole system
- Integrated Stäubli MC4 connectors for fast, clean installs
- Class II double-insulated, NEMA Type 6, rated −40°F to 149°F
Add a battery, keep the lights on.
We install the top names in home storage — sized to your roof and how you use power. We put all the details, capacities, and pricing on one dedicated page so you can compare without the noise.
Why does Solar Wave install REC and Enphase?
Premium tier, flat pricing
The same equipment national installers position as a costly upgrade is our standard build — sold at transparent, published prices.
25-year warranties across the board
REC ProTrust and Enphase both back their gear for 25 years. When your installer is REC-certified, that includes labor, not just parts.
Engineered for Colorado
High-altitude sun, hail, and big temperature swings. Low-temp-coefficient panels and per-panel microinverters are built for exactly this.
*REC ProTrust 25-year product, power & labor warranty applies to panels installed by an REC Certified Solar Professional and registered with REC, subject to system size and conditions. IQ8X grid-forming backup requires an Enphase IQ System Controller. Specs are drawn from current manufacturer datasheets and are subject to change without notice.
Solar equipment questions.
All-black REC Alpha Pure-RX panels rated 450 to 470 W, with up to 22.6% module efficiency. They're certified for 35 mm hailstone impact and are built to hold over 92% of their output after 25 years.
Enphase IQ8X microinverters — one per panel, so shade or a single failure doesn't drag down the whole array. With an Enphase IQ System Controller, IQ8X systems can keep producing daytime power when the grid goes down.
REC ProTrust covers the panels for 25 years, including labor when installed by an REC Certified Solar Professional and registered with REC. Enphase backs IQ8X microinverters for 25 years.
A low −0.24%/°C temperature coefficient holds output on hot roofs, hail certification handles Front Range storms, and per-panel microinverters cope with partial shade and snow on part of the array.
