Enphase Energy and SunCool Bring Reliable Solar-Plus-Storage to Florida Homeowners
October 20 2020 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that SunCool Energy has started offering the
Enphase Encharge™ storage system to customers in South Florida.
Encharge storage systems feature Enphase Ensemble™ energy
management technology, which powers the world’s first fully
integrated, grid-agnostic microinverter-based solar-plus-storage
system.
The Enphase Encharge 10™ and Encharge 3™ storage systems offer
usable and scalable battery storage capacities of 10.1 kWh and 3.4
kWh, respectively. This modular architecture helps installers to
right-size storage for either customers’ whole-home backup loads or
to start small and grow over time, without additional external
inverters. With a grid-agnostic system and fail-safe design with
multiple, redundant microinverters in each storage device and a
passive cooling system with no moving parts, the Encharge storage
system offers maximum reliability. The Encharge storage system also
provides a simple path to energy independence with Enphase
grid-forming microinverters to keep homes powered when the grid
goes down and save money when the grid is up.
“The active hurricane season has many of our customers calling
us about adding home energy backup, and our Enphase system owners
are delighted to hear that we can do a seamless upgrade to their
existing systems with Encharge storage,” said Greg Gearhart, owner
at SunCool. “On the installation side of the business, we get
tremendous confidence from the reliability of Enphase products, and
when we do need real-time support during an install, Enphase picks
up the phone right away. The level of customer support from Enphase
cannot be compared to the 24-48-hour call-back times we’ve had
elsewhere, and we look forward to serving the strong demand here in
Florida.”
One of the first fully resilient Enphase-based
solar-plus-storage systems deployed by SunCool Energy was at a Duck
Key, Florida residence. The newly constructed home features 37
Enphase IQ 7™ microinverters and three Enphase Encharge 10 storage
devices, for a total of 11.6 kW solar production and 30 kWh of
storage.
“My goal was to protect the house from the power outages that
come with the hurricanes and storms down here, and the Enphase
Encharge storage system working in tandem with our Enphase
microinverters gave us the option for true energy resilience,” said
John Wolfe, Enphase homeowner in Duck Key, Florida. “I particularly
like that the Encharge storage units use battery chemistry that
does not pose the fire risk which conventional Lithium-Ion
batteries do, and that the system has built-in brownout protection
for the bigger appliances that start with a demand spike. The fire
safety aspect gave me the confidence to install the units right
inside the house. They are also great looking. This system allows
us to utilize our abundant sunshine and be more environmentally
conscious.”
“Greg and his team at SunCool Energy are at the cutting edge of
delivering energy independence to their customers, and the system
they installed at the Wolfe residence is a testament to the
outstanding work they do,” said Mehran Sedigh, vice president and
general manager of the energy storage business at Enphase Energy.
“We are committed to empowering solar installers with a combination
of the best products and an outstanding customer experience, and I
look forward to seeing SunCool continue to succeed with
solar-plus-storage from Enphase.”
The Enphase Encharge storage system features Enphase Power
Start™ technology, which helps support the initial demand spike
from motor-driven appliances, such as air conditioners and pumps,
and gives homeowners the power of complete insight into solar and
storage performance with the Enphase Enlighten™ energy management
platform. Encharge storage systems are plug-and-play compatible
with new and existing Enphase solar systems with IQ 6™ and IQ 7
microinverters, which provides a simple upgrade path for existing
Enphase solar customers. Enphase Encharge storage offers the
confidence and convenience of a maintenance-free battery system,
remote software upgrades, and a limited 10-year warranty.
