Enphase Energy Launches Enphase University with Ensemble Technology Training

FREMONT, Calif., July 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of solar microinverters, today announced the launch of Enphase University, a combination of online and in-person training resources for solar and storage installers and, Enphase system owners. Enphase University includes an integrated, web-based Learning Management System (LMS) that enables installers to complete training modules, manage training plans, track progress online, and accumulate NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for eligible lessons.

The Enphase University training will be delivered via the Company’s new LMS and complemented by two van-based mobile classrooms, 11 third-party regional training centers, and two regional training centers at the Enphase locations in Fremont, California and Meridian, Idaho. The first full curriculum available through Enphase University will prepare installers to design, install, and commission solar and storage systems based on Enphase Ensemble technology.

The Ensemble Installation Certification curriculum includes eight comprehensive, self-paced online courses that take approximately seven hours to complete. Successful completion promotes high-quality installations through a combination of training, design review, and functional test verification activities and enables eligible participants to earn NABCEP CEUs.  

"The Ensemble Installation Certification training is thorough and effective, and it's impressive how quickly Enphase transformed a hands-on training plan to work for remote delivery, all while launching a major new product line and managing around rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic restrictions," said Pete Marsh, owner and founder at Vector Green Power and Materials, LLC. "Enphase University is another example of how Enphase puts its commitment to quality and a great customer experience to work for installers, and I was thrilled about what I saw while testing the new online learning system."

“The Enphase University course work goes far beyond the usual, high-level ‘vendor training’ we are often left with in this industry, and Enphase stayed true to form by providing real, value-added instruction through the online system,” said Bryan McGurn, owner at Lighthouse Solar. “As one of the first beta testers of the LMS and reviewers of the curriculum, I was asked to provide critical feedback about any issues I noticed, and it has been great to see Enphase take concrete action for continuous improvement. It is great to see how Enphase extends its dedication to technical depth and high quality all the way into the training for solar installers.”
