Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that more than 700 solar installation companies in
the U.S. have leveraged Enphase Energized™ AC Modules (ACMs).
Enphase Energized 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
Energized AC Modules also help reduce the design complexities
associated with high-power modules and provide an ideal combination
of high-efficiency modules paired with the most optimal
microinverter. When compared to solar installations using
combinations of discrete Enphase microinverters and solar modules,
ACMs result in a 10-20% reduction in logistics and supply chain
overhead, and a 20-40% reduction in system installation time,
especially for high-power systems.
“With AC Modules, Enphase extends its dedication to
delivering an outstanding customer experience directly into the
products it develops, and that is central to our enthusiasm about
working with Enphase,” said Ed Zinthefer, master electrician and
president at Arch Electric, Inc. “The solar business is highly
competitive, and our continued partnership with leading module
makers who integrate Enphase microinverter technology into their
products allows us to offer a valuable and differentiated product
that directly reinforces our dedication to delivering a great
customer experience.”
“We switched from string inverters to Enphase ACMs
from Solaria, and we couldn't be happier,” said Doug Sabetti,
president at Newport Solar. “With ACMs we save time and money
because they require fewer installation steps and have simpler wire
management. Our homeowners also appreciate the reliability and
safety of low-voltage AC modules.”
“Since Enphase AC Modules are pre-paired and
assembled at the factory, our design team never has to burn time
trying to get the panel-to-inverter sizing right,” said Arno
Aghamalian, president and CEO at Solar Optimum. “We have
standardized on Enphase Energized AC Modules from Panasonic with
integrated seventh-generation Enphase IQ 7X™ microinverters because
this combination offers our customers great efficiency and
performance, as well as the confidence of a 25-year warranty from a
single point of contact.”
“Enphase AC Modules have been a game changer for
us,” said Scott Maskin, co-founder and CEO, SUNation Solar Systems,
Inc. “We've been a referral-driven company for 17 years and we only
adopt technology that is proven to add value to SUNation and, more
importantly, to our homeowners. Enphase AC modules provide
unmatched efficiency for our procurement, warehouse, and finance
teams, and they really shine out in the field. Enphase ACMs mean
less waste, fewer components, and quicker installs for our crews.
When you combine these benefits with the great warranty and
resiliency of ACMs, Enphase gives us a winning edge over the
competition.”
“The response we see from solar installers and
homeowners to Enphase Energized AC modules is very positive, and
the market adoption of AC modules reflects this sentiment,” said
David Ranhoff, chief commercial officer at Enphase Energy. “I am
encouraged to see so many installers taking full advantage of the
many benefits and efficiencies of AC modules to accelerate their
businesses. Together with our many dedicated installers and our
world-class module partners, we are delivering smart home energy
solutions and an outstanding customer experience to
homeowners.”
Enphase Energized 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 California
Rule 21 and Hawaiian Electric Company Rule 14H, such as power
factor, voltage, and frequency ride-through requirements.
