Enphase Energy Ships 100,000 Solar Microinverters

PETALUMA, CA, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Enphase Energy, the leader in solar microinverter systems, shipped its
100,000th unit in September 2009, reaching this remarkable milestone just
over a year after the product's launch in July 2008. The company was also
recognized by GreenTech Media as the fastest-growing solar inverter
company in the U.S. in a recent report
[http://www.greentechmedia.com/sponsored/resource-center/].

"Enphase has emerged as the fastest growing inverter company in the U.S. A
stellar achievement by a startup in a challenged market," said Eric
Wesoff, Senior Analyst, GreenTech Media. "Even more compelling is the
sales pipeline for Enphase. By all indications Enphase will be ramping up
to hundreds of thousands of units in 2010, putting microinverters within a
rounding error of a 4 percent global market share in the once-stagnant
inverter market."

Enphase Microinverter Systems convert the DC output of a single solar
module into grid compliant AC power. Enphase systems offer a number of
advantages over traditional central inverters including a five to 25
percent increase in energy harvest, increased system reliability and a
simpler -- and safer -- installation. Enphase also removes design
constraints because modules can now be installed in any combination of
type, age, and location. In addition, a proprietary communication
technology is embedded into each microinverter enabling continuous,
remote, per-module monitoring to identify any problems quickly and
maximize energy production.

"The adoption of the Enphase Microinverter System by installers large and
small has greatly exceeded our expectations," said Paul Nahi, president
and CEO, Enphase. "Customers, system installers and distributors
throughout the country recognize the unprecedented value these
microinverters bring to solar power systems and are asking for the
Enphase Microinverter by name."

One key reason the Enphase Microinverter has such a high adoption rate is
due to the simplicity of installation. Installers can train new staff
members much more quickly with microinverter technology compared to
traditional inverters, enabling them to improve their
time-to-productivity. This benefit, along with others, has convinced many
solar installers to use Enphase Microinverters exclusively. To date,
Enphase Microinverters have been installed in residential and commercial
sites in virtually all 50 U.S. states and Canada, boosting overall solar
growth.

"We use Enphase Microinverters in all our installations," says Donna
Bourdeau, president, Power1Solar. "Our customers value the productivity
and savings they deliver and our technicians love the ease of
installation and maintenance."
