Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that more than 500 solar installation companies in
the U.S. have benefitted from significantly reduced solar design
complexity and logistics by adopting Enphase Energized™ AC Modules
(ACMs). Enphase AC Modules, first released in October 2017, are
factory-assembled, tested, and sold by Enphase ACM partners,
including SunPower, Panasonic, and Solaria.
Enphase Energized AC Modules are built by strategic module
partners who integrate Enphase microinverters with PV modules on
the manufacturing line. ACMs are tested for performance,
reliability, and quality right on the manufacturing line and allow
solar installers to offer premium solutions to homeowners.
Enphase-based AC Modules also help eliminate the design
complexities associated with high-power modules and provide an
ideal combination of high-efficiency modules paired with the
optimal microinverter. When compared to solar installations using
combinations of discrete Enphase microinverters and solar modules,
ACMs result in an average 10-20% reduction in logistics and supply
chain overhead, and between 20-40% reduction in system installation
time, especially for high-wattage systems.
“Switching to AC Modules with Enphase microinverters has been a
great business decision for us because we have become more
efficient and more competitive,” said Thomas Enzendorfer, founder
and CEO of American Home Energy. “With multiple AC Module
manufacturers to choose from, our customers have a whole lineup of
power, performance, and various size options. Modules and power
electronics simply belong together, and the 25-year warranty of
Enphase Energized AC modules gives homeowners peace of mind.”
“The benefits of factory integration of modules and inverters
and a single warranty are great, but you need to talk to the
installation teams to understand why AC Modules change the game,”
said Chad Waits, president and owner of Net Zero Solar. “With
Enphase AC Modules, there are fewer parts on the trucks and fewer
parts to carry up onto the roof, and our customers and installation
crews appreciate getting installations done more quickly.”
“High-quality Enphase-based ACMs from top-tier solar module
suppliers like Solaria allow us to deliver high-performance and
visually attractive solar systems to homeowners,” said Eric Miller,
founder and president of Pac Solar Corporation. “With AC Modules,
we have the flexibility to optimize our customers’ systems for
economics, performance, and aesthetics. The ACMs help us
differentiate our offering, and that has contributed to growing the
business.”
“Our customers want high power, quality, flexibility, and
reliability, and Enphase AC Modules deliver all four,” said Matt
Margolin, CEO of Sunline Energy, Inc. “With Enphase Energized AC
Modules, our field teams don’t have to transport multiple SKUs to
the job sites or assemble multiple components on the roof.”
“The success of the AC Module business is a testament to the
dedication to quality and reliability by both Enphase and the
world’s leading solar module manufacturers,” said David Ranhoff,
chief commercial officer at Enphase Energy. “We firmly believe that
solar is an investment and asset designed to last for decades, and
our focus is squarely on providing microinverters that stand the
test of time. Enphase-based AC Modules also help our installation
partners be more efficient, from the warehouse to the roof, and we
are grateful to have so many installers who have embraced
them.”
AC Modules based on Enphase IQ™ microinverters meet or exceed
regulatory requirements set by the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and individual states and are certified compliant with NEC 2014 and
2017 rapid shutdown requirements. Unlike string inverters, Enphase
IQ microinverters have rapid shutdown built in, with no additional
equipment necessary. Enphase IQ microinverters also comply with
requirements for distributed solar on utility networks included in
Rule 21 in California and Hawaiian Electric Company Rule 14H, such
as power factor, voltage, and frequency ride-through
requirements.
