Enphase Energy and GRID Alternatives Renew Low-Income Solar Partnership
June 17 2019 - 9:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that it has renewed its low-income solar
partnership with GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making
renewable energy technology and job training accessible to
underserved communities.
Through the donation of microinverters, Enphase will help GRID
Alternatives meet its goal of installing more than 10 megawatts of
solar power in 2019, helping families and affordable housing
providers save millions of dollars in energy costs and providing
hands-on solar installation training to over 4,000 individuals.
“Partnerships like this help make the environmental and economic
benefits of the clean energy economy accessible to families and
workers across the country,” said Tim Sears, GRID Alternatives COO
& co-founder.
To commemorate the renewed collaboration, eight Enphase
employees joined GRID Alternatives on Friday, May 31, volunteering
their time to install solar for an income-qualified California
family. Enphase microinverter technology was used to provide the
household with 5.3 kilowatts of no-cost solar energy, potentially
saving the family more than $44,896 over the lifetime of their
solar system.
“The work with GRID Alternatives has always been an important
opportunity for Enphase to bring solar to underserved communities,
and these corporate workdays allow all Enphase employees an
opportunity to get hands-on experience with our products,” said JD
Dillon, vice president of marketing at Enphase Energy. “GRID
Alternatives also delivers solar job training as part of their
mission. Small and mid-sized installation companies install much of
the solar energy deployed in the US, and having a workforce of
well-trained installation technicians is a key part of the solar
value chain.”
Nationally, GRID Alternatives has installed over 24 megawatts of
solar power for low-income communities using Enphase
microinverters, benefiting nearly 7,000 families, and has provided
job trainees and volunteers with 494,000 hours of solar education
and training.
