Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) will participate in Energie 2013, the
largest trade show on saving energy and the transition to sustainable
energy sources in The Netherlands, on Sept. 24-26 at Brabanthallen,
Diezekade 2, Den Bosch. Visitors can discover the benefits of the Enphase
System by attending live training sessions at Enphase partner booths
and participating in informational Enphase presentations. To register,

Enphase has been active in The Netherlands since the first Enphase
photovoltaic array was installed in 2012. To date, all the Enphase
systems in The Netherlands have produced more than 2,500 MWh of clean
energy, equivalent to offsetting over 1,700 tons of CO2. Enphase entered
The Netherlands as the photovoltaic market was developing rapidly, and
the installed capacity of solar continues to grow steadily today. As
reported by the Dutch solar association Holland
Solar (September 2013), in 2011, total PV installations reached
145MW, while in 2012 they grew up to 340MW.
“We are delighted about the fast adoption of our solution in The
Netherlands, where we have installed over 1,500 systems since last year.
This demonstrates the value we deliver as the leading provider of
microinverter systems globally. Our solution is well-suited for Dutch
photovoltaic rooftop applications, where solar subsidies are modest,
making optimal energy production even more important when choosing
system technologies,” said Olivier Jacques, managing director for
Enphase Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The Enphase System offers a new approach to the installation, operations
and maintenance of solar energy systems. Enphase Microinverters, the
Envoy Communications Gateway and Enlighten web-based software platform
work together to deliver increased energy harvest and unparalleled solar
system intelligence. By converting direct current (DC) to alternating
current (AC) at the panel level, microinverters create independent power
producers out of every single panel in a solar array. This dramatically
simplifies solar system design and installation while improving safety
by eliminating high voltage DC. Access to the Enlighten software comes
included with the Envoy Communications Gateway, which communicates with
each microinverter over the existing power lines. Enlighten allows
remote access to system information from any web-enabled device,
providing installers with increased visibility into the performance of
their installed-base and remote troubleshooting capabilities.
To date, Enphase has shipped over 3.7 million microinverters and is
selling into eleven countries across Europe, North America and Asia
Pacific. Recent findings conducted by IHS
in their PV
Inverter World Market Report 2013, found in 2012 Enphase was the
number one residential PV inverter supplier in the Americas by revenue
share. Furthermore in its PV
Microinverter and Power Optimizer – World Market Report released
last August, IHS also reported that, although the Americas continue to
be the primary markets for microinverter shipments, EMEA is targeted as
one of the major regions for microinverter growth in the coming years.
In March 2013, Enphase appointed Olivier Jacques as managing director
for Enphase EMEA and established a European headquarters in Lyon to
oversee execution and expansion of the business.
