Enphase Energy Launches IQ Combiner Lite for Social Housing in the Netherlands
April 18 2024 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based
solar and battery systems, today announced the launch of the IQ®
Combiner Lite in the Netherlands to simplify installation and
commissioning of small-scale solar installations on homes
categorized as “social housing,” where rent is capped by the Dutch
government to increase accessibility for people with low incomes.
The Netherlands has approximately eight million homes, with
social housing representing more than 2.3 million of these
residences. Approximately 460,000 social housing residences
currently have solar energy systems. They are typically row houses
and apartment complexes, and each individual residential unit
installs its own solar energy system. The solar projects are mostly
financed by housing corporations that play the role of landlords,
developers, and asset managers.
The IQ Combiner Lite consolidates the IQ® Gateway, IQ® Relay 1P
(single-phase), and cellular modem products into a pre-wired
compact box, which facilitates the simple, plug-and-play
installation of smaller systems used for social housing. The
commissioning process has been simplified to allow the installer
crew to only focus on installation. The IQ Combiner Lite Kit
includes the pre-wired IQ Combiner Lite along with six IQ8MC™
Microinverters. The IQ Combiner Lite comes with an industry-leading
5-year warranty and the IQ8MC Microinverters come with a 25-year
limited warranty for all systems activated in the Netherlands.
“Social housing requires energy solutions that can be easily
installed, commissioned, and maintained reliably without much
intervention,” said Joris Hauwert, building quality manager at BPD
Property Development. “The compact design and connective
capabilities make the IQ Combiner Lite the ideal solution to help
our installers effectively scale solar across the millions of
social housing residences in the Netherlands in need of more
reliable and affordable energy solutions.”
“Solar is rapidly growing across the Netherlands, and there is a
significant opportunity to support the country’s clean energy goals
by expanding access to renewable energy solutions for the social
housing segment,” said Tom Molenaar, sales manager at Smit
Elektrotechniek, part of the VDK Group. “The IQ Combiner Lite
reduces our labor costs and installation time, allowing us to
better serve social housing customers with the highest quality home
energy systems.”
“The IQ Combiner Lite is just another example of Enphase’s
ability to innovate and grow with the market, giving us a more
competitive edge as a business,” said Jasper Klein, owner of
NewSolar Energy Solutions. “With Enphase, we can confidently
provide our customers with not only best-in-class technology but
also best-in-class service.”
“We’re demonstrating our commitment to this market by offering
the products and services our installers and their customers need
the most,” said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of European
sales at Enphase Energy. “The IQ Combiner Lite is the smarter,
simpler, and more efficient solution that empowers our installers
in the Netherlands to overcome the complexities of solar
installations for social housing and better scale access to
renewable energy.”
