Enphase is a company that designs and manufactures micro inverters for solar PV systems. Their micro inverters offer advanced performance monitoring, safety features, and are easy to install.
Enphase was founded in March 2006 by Raghu Belur and Martin Fornage.
In 2008, Enphase shipped its first micro inverter product.
In 2011, Enphase went public on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ENPH.
Enphase has since grown to become a leader in the micro inverter market, with more than 28 million micro inverters shipped worldwide.
Enphase has also expanded its portfolio to include energy storage systems and home energy management software.
SolarEdge is a leading manufacturer of DC optimized inverters, power optimizers, and monitoring systems for solar PV systems.
SunPower is a leading manufacturer of high-efficiency solar panels, inverters, and energy storage systems.
Huawei is a global technology company that makes solar inverters, PV module optimizers, and home energy management systems.
The Enphase IQ 7 micro inverter is the latest in the Enphase IQ series. It is designed for high power output, easy installation and includes advanced safety features.
The Enphase Encharge is a battery storage system that works with Enphase micro inverters to store excess solar energy for later use.
Enphase Enlighten is a cloud-based software platform that provides real-time data and analytics for Enphase solar systems.
A micro inverter is a small inverter that is installed on each solar panel in a PV system. It converts the DC power from the panel into AC power that can be used in the home or exported to the grid.
It depends on the type and size of your solar system. Micro inverters are best for small and complex systems as they offer better performance monitoring and optimized energy output. For larger systems, a central inverter may be more cost-effective.
Enphase micro inverters come with a 25-year warranty, which means they are expected to last at least that long. However, they can last much longer with proper maintenance and care.
Enphase micro inverters are designed to be easy to install, but it is recommended to hire a licensed and certified professional to ensure proper installation and system performance.
The cost of an Enphase micro inverter depends on the model and the size of the solar system. Generally, the cost ranges from $150 to $250 per micro inverter.
