Enphase Energy Expands Customer Base in Europe

‘S-HERTOGENBOSCH, the Netherlands, Sept. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of solar microinverters, today announced it has entered into partnerships with three solar distribution companies in Belgium and the Netherlands– Carbomat Group, Libra Energy and Solarclarity, further strengthening Enphase’s presence in the European solar market.

The companies will distribute the Enphase IQ 7 family of microinverters to residential installers across Belgium and the Netherlands. In addition, the solar systems will be outfitted with Enphase Envoy communications gateways, which connect an Enphase-based solar system to the Enphase Enlighten monitoring platform and helps make per-panel energy monitoring and insights for operations and maintenance easy.
        
Enphase has seen increasing demand for its microinverters in Belgium and the Netherlands. The residential sector, including households and social housing, along with small-sized businesses, has been the primary adopter of Enphase microinverter technology. New housing construction in Belgium and the Netherlands is also an important sector for Enphase due to the Company’s unique ability to offer a truly future proof and scalable solar system design that is easy to install and offers excellent performance and reliability.

“We continue to see a growing market for solar panels on apartment buildings in Belgium,” said Maarten Devillé, senior buyer at Carbomat Group, Belgium. “Approximately 90% of our installer customers work with residential apartment buildings, and we selected Enphase microinverters primarily due to their 25-year limited warranty and the easy-to-use Enlighten monitoring system. We are pleased to work with the company’s Dutch sales and technical departments, who provide us with superior customer service.”

“We look for real partnerships with our suppliers and we have that with Enphase as the company matches our strong focus on the quality of a PV system,” said Erik Bijl, CEO at Libra Energy, the Netherlands. “We chose Enphase microinverters since they offer a nice solution for all solar panels up to 440Wp. The system is future-proof, as additional solar panels, even from a different brand or capacity, can be easily integrated. In addition, we expect safety functions to become increasingly important in the European solar market and Enphase is a real leader in this area with its module-level rapid shutdown.”
