Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based
solar and battery systems, announced today that installers of
Enphase® products in Southern California have seen growing
deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ8™
Microinverters following the product’s launch in North America late
last year. IQ8 Microinverters paired with Enphase’s industry
leading IQ™ Batteries gives homeowners more energy
independence and peace of mind as power supply shortages are
predicted to lead to blackouts across the state this summer.
According to the most recent U.S. Solar Market Insight report
from Wood Mackenzie and the Solar Energy Industries Association,
residential solar deployments in California are predicted to top
1,500 MW in 2022, representing an approximately seven percent
increase from the previous year. Additionally, residential battery
capacity in California is increasing steadily year-over-year with
forecasts estimating deployments will more than double by the end
of 2026, according to the most recent U.S. Energy Storage Monitor
report from the Energy Storage Association and Wood Mackenzie.
“Homeowners immediately understand the value of an Enphase
Energy System backed by the revolutionary IQ8 Microinverter
technology, as a way to maximize their solar investment,” said Eric
Helgeson, owner and president at NexGen Construction, an Enphase
Platinum level installer. “The IQ8 Microinverter allows us to build
a system that can start small and grow over time, offering
increasing independence and resilience for our customers.”
“We proudly offer Enphase products to help homeowners better
manage power bills and have peace of mind from power outages,” said
Jeff Carelli, president and chief executive officer at Sunlight
Solar Inc., an Enphase Platinum level installer. “IQ8
Microinverters can provide sunlight-only backup for the first time
in the history of solar, while removing sizing restrictions when
solar is paired with batteries. This allows us to give our customer
exactly what they need, without compromise.”
Enphase’s revolutionary IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight
Backup™ functionality during an outage, even without a battery. For
homeowners who want battery backup, there are no sizing
restrictions on pairing an Enphase IQ Batteries with IQ8
Microinverters. In addition, with the Sunlight Jump Start™ feature,
IQ8 Microinverters can restart a home energy system using sunlight
only after prolonged grid outages that may result in a fully
depleted battery. This eliminates the need for a manual restart of
the system and gives homeowners even greater resilience. Enphase
IQ8 solar microinverters come with a 25-year limited warranty.
Enphase recently announced that the IQ8 Microinverter system is
the first in the world to be certified by UL, a global safety
science leader, for the new North American safety and grid
interconnection standards for connecting solar inverters, energy
storage systems, and distributed energy resources (DERs) to the
grid. Enphase’s IQ8 Microinverters, paired with the IQ™ Combiner
4/4C and IQ™ Gateway, create the first complete residential DER
system certified by UL.
“California homeowners are bracing for a brutal summer with the
potential for power outages and blackouts,” said Tim Polujancewicz,
president at Infinity Solar, Inc, an Enphase Gold level installer.
“With Enphase’s unrivaled IQ8 Microinverters paired with IQ
Batteries, our customers can enjoy the benefits of clean energy
even when the grid goes down.”
“The all-in-one Enphase Energy System keeps Californians
powered, prepared, and in control of their clean energy supply,”
said Ian Lochore, vice president and general manager at Baker
Electric Home Energy, an Enphase Gold level installer. “IQ8 gives
us the ultimate flexibility to offer homeowners the perfect system
to meet their energy needs, ensuring homes are ready for the
inevitability of power outages this summer.”
“We’re proud to partner with some of the nation’s top installers
to bring world-class products and customer service to homeowners
across Southern California,” said Dave Ranhoff, chief commercial
officer at Enphase Energy. “With its grid-forming capabilities, IQ8
Microinverters change the paradigm of backup power by being the
first solution to unlock home solar systems’ functionality when the
grid is down.”
