Enphase is a global energy technology company that designs and manufactures software-driven home energy solutions that span solar generation (microinverters), energy storage, and web-based monitoring and control.
Founded in 2006 by Raghu Belur and Martin Fornage
Pioneered the use of microinverters in the residential solar industry
Went public in 2012
Entered the energy storage market in 2016
SolarEdge is another major player in the residential solar industry, offering a range of power optimizers, inverters, and monitoring systems.
Tesla offers a range of energy storage products, including the Powerwall and Powerpack, as well as solar panels through their acquisition of SolarCity.
LG Chem is a major producer of lithium-ion batteries for a variety of industries, including residential and commercial energy storage.
Enphase's flagship product line, which uses microinverter technology to provide safer, more reliable solar power conversion and more detailed monitoring of system performance.
A modular energy storage system that can be expanded as needed to provide backup power during outages or reduce reliance on the grid during peak demand hours.
A web-based platform that provides real-time monitoring and control of solar generation and energy storage systems.
A microinverter is a device that converts the DC power produced by a solar panel into AC power for use in homes and businesses. Unlike traditional string inverters, microinverters are installed on each panel, which allows for more detailed monitoring of system performance and greater flexibility in design.
The Encharge battery stores excess solar power generated by your system during the day and delivers it to your home when you need it, such as during an outage or during peak demand hours. The modular design allows you to add more capacity as needed and the system can be easily monitored and controlled using the Enlighten web platform.
Yes, Enphase microinverters are compatible with a wide range of solar panel brands and can be used in new installations or to upgrade existing systems.
Enphase offers a 25-year warranty on all microinverters and most energy storage products. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, as well as guarantees the performance of the product.
Although Enphase's products are designed primarily for grid-tied systems, they can be used in off-grid applications when paired with an appropriate battery storage solution and backup generator. However, it's important to work with a qualified installer to ensure that the system is properly designed and installed.
