Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), announced today the fourth-generation Enphase
System is shipping throughout North America. The system features the M250
Microinverter, which offers higher output power, increased
conversion efficiency and a labor-saving integrated ground feature, in
addition to new enhancements to the Enlighten software platform.
“The general availability of our most efficient, rigorously tested and
robust Enphase System marks yet another milestone for us as the world’s
leading microinverter systems provider,” said Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase
Energy. “Our system’s powerful combination of advanced hardware and
web-based software is not only simplifying the way professionals install
solar but also streamlining their approach to operations and maintenance
with enterprise-level tools integrated with Enlighten.”
The fourth-generation Enphase System delivers both hardware and software
improvements, with the world’s most efficient microinverter at the heart
of the offering. The M250 Microinverter, rated at 96.5 percent CEC
weighted efficiency, is optimized for high-power solar modules up to
300W STC. Its unique integrated ground feature eliminates the need for a
separate copper grounding electrode conductor (GEC), facilitating faster
installation and lower materials costs. Also, each Envoy Communications
Gateway can now support up to 500 microinverters and provides enhanced
power-line communications capabilities for improved connectivity with
the solar array.
Enlighten software platform enhancements introduced in the
forth-generation system include MyEnlighten,
an engaging new interface for solar system owners to view and share
their solar arrays. Solar professionals can monitor and manage multiple
Enphase installations through the new Enlighten
Manager, offering web-based tools for the operations and maintenance
of entire fleets of installed systems. Also, the second version Enlighten
software platform API (application programming interface) makes it
even easier for customers and partners to display Enlighten system data
in their existing enterprise platforms or to create custom applications,
such as fleet management tools, display kiosks, building management
software, billing integration, mobile apps and more.
The fourth-generation Enphase System is available through authorized
distributors throughout North America, http://enphase.com/how-to-buy/.
