Enphase Energy Storage Systems Now Compatible with Existing M-Series™ Microinverter-Based Solar Systems on Approximately 30...
January 22 2021 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy management
technology company and the world’s leading supplier of
microinverter-based solar-plus-storage systems, today announced
that Enphase Storage systems are now compatible with Enphase M215™
and M250™ microinverter-based solar systems. The expanded
compatibility provides approximately 300,000 additional Enphase
system owners with the possibility of achieving grid-agnostic
energy resilience through the Enphase Upgrade Program.
The Enphase Upgrade Program provides solar installers the
opportunity to renew engagements with the installed base of Enphase
system owners through microinverter, solar, and energy storage
upgrades. The program is for owners of Enphase microinverters and
represents the Company’s continued commitment to reliability,
service, and long-term customer relationships. Participation in the
Enphase Upgrade Program is entirely voluntary. Enphase continues to
stand by its limited warranties for existing products in the field
by leveraging insights into field-deployed products through
advanced remote analytics. The compatibility of Enphase Storage
systems with M215 and M250 microinverter-based solar systems, as
well as with IQ 6™ and IQ 7™ microinverter-based solar systems, now
allows installers in the U.S. to approach and offer storage
upgrades to nearly the vast majority of Enphase homeowners
nationwide.
“Our M-Series customers are thrilled to have the option to
upgrade their solar systems with Enphase Storage without also
having to upgrade their microinverters or solar panels,” said John
Orfali, owner at Save A Lot Solar. “We started installing Enphase
microinverters about ten years ago, and we have never looked back.
The compatibility between Enphase Storage and Enphase M-Series
microinverters is just the latest indication that we made the right
decision, especially given the need for energy resilience as
planned power outages disrupt the lives of the increasing number of
people who now work from home.”
“We were one of the first solar installers in the U.S. to test
the Upgrade Program concept with Enphase in mid-2018, and our
customers have been enthusiastic about revitalizing their solar
systems with the latest microinverter technology and accompanying
limited warranties,” said Chaz Mathias, owner at First Response
Solar. “Today, our focus is primarily on serving the strong demand
we have in California for solar-plus-storage systems. The Upgrade
Program provides a bridge between older systems and the new Enphase
Encharge™ storage system, and that is a big win for our customers.
Our homeowners also love having a unified dashboard with the
Enphase Enlighten™ monitoring system to see their solar energy
production, energy usage, and energy storage. As an active
volunteer firefighter, Enphase always gives me peace of mind
knowing that our installation teams, homeowners, and first
responders can safely operate the system without being exposed to
high-voltage DC electricity on our installs.”
“Solar systems used to be much smaller, and solar technology has
come a long way in the past ten years,” said Cory Johnson, owner at
New Day Solar. “Our Enphase Upgrade Program participants are
pleased about how Enphase stands with its customers in the long
term by providing the opportunity to refresh, expand, and upgrade
their systems at a significant discount. We have come to appreciate
the inbound sales leads the Upgrade Program continues to provide as
well as the new customer relationships that are created around
these systems’ new limited warranties. Enphase has also made a
quantum leap over its competitors in terms of customer support,
making its already outstanding microinverter technology a
no-brainer for both homeowners and installers.”
“As the technology keeps improving and solar systems get older,
I feel that the interest in upgrading solar PV systems that are now
more than ten years old will continue to grow,” said Courtney
Hider, director of operations at Energy Monster. “We believe that
it is important to educate both new and existing solar homeowners
about ways to make their living spaces more energy-efficient, and
the Enphase Upgrade Program is another tool that helps us do that.
Efficient, modern solar systems help the environment and the
customer's wallet, which is what we are all about.”
“The Enphase Upgrade Program has provided homeowners a path to
upgrade or replace older Enphase solar systems, and during the
COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a source of work, revenue, and jobs
for solar installers,” said Dave Ranhoff, chief commercial officer
at Enphase Energy. “We are grateful for all the solar installers
who continue to be outstanding partners in helping Enphase deliver
on a service program that makes a difference in people’s lives. We
also welcome the many Enphase M-Series system owners to the family
of homeowners who now can make a simple upgrade towards true energy
independence with Encharge Storage systems.”
Program details are available in Enphase installer and homeowner
webinars and on the Enphase Upgrade Program website.
