Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), announced today its sponsorship of Team
Capitol DC for the biennial 2013 Department of Energy Solar
Decathlon. Team Capitol DC is a citywide Washington D.C. collegiate team
with members from Catholic University, George Washington University and
American University. Enphase is contributing its microinverter system to
bring the team an easy-to-install approach to solar, which maximizes
energy harvest and comes with an integrated, intelligent web-based
monitoring platform.
Team Capitol DC’s HARVEST HOME is an innovative house of the future that
harvests power from natural resources while maintaining comfort for its
ideal resident, a wounded American veteran who has returned from the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through harvesting natural resources,
comforting design features and an innovative biomedical atmosphere that
contributes to rehabilitation of body and spirit, HARVEST HOME will help
heal its resident and the environment. HARVEST HOME will be donated to a
veteran after the competition.
“The mission of Team Capitol DC to create a living environment dedicated
to revitalizing the body and spirit of America’s veterans is an
admirable goal, and is a goal fully supported by Enphase,” said Bill
Rossi, CMO of Enphase Energy. “It is rewarding to see the future leaders
of sustainability relying on Enphase microinverters to power not only
their ideal American home but also its heroes.”
The U.S. Department of Energy challenges 20 collegiate teams to design,
build and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective,
energy-efficient and attractive. The winner of the competition is the
team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal and design
excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency. The
competition will take place at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine,
Calif. from October 3-13, 2013.
“Powered by Enphase’s advanced technology, we aim to build a house
capable of harvesting more energy than it produces,” said Bobby
Blabolil, project manager of Team Capitol DC. “The Enphase System has
come highly recommended to us, and we are excited to incorporate its
safety, reliability and efficiency into our competition exhibition.”
