Press Release

FREMONT, Calif., June 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters, today announced that it has renewed its low-income solar partnership with GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities.

Through the donation of microinverters, Enphase will help GRID Alternatives meet its goal of installing more than 10 megawatts of solar power in 2019, helping families and affordable housing providers save millions of dollars in energy costs and providing hands-on solar installation training to over 4,000 individuals.

“Partnerships like this help make the environmental and economic benefits of the clean energy economy accessible to families and workers across the country,” said Tim Sears, GRID Alternatives COO & co-founder.

To commemorate the renewed collaboration, eight Enphase employees joined GRID Alternatives on Friday, May 31, volunteering their time to install solar for an income-qualified California family. Enphase microinverter technology was used to provide the household with 5.3 kilowatts of no-cost solar energy, potentially saving the family more than $44,896 over the lifetime of their solar system.

“The work with GRID Alternatives has always been an important opportunity for Enphase to bring solar to underserved communities, and these corporate workdays allow all Enphase employees an opportunity to get hands-on experience with our products,” said JD Dillon, vice president of marketing at Enphase Energy. “GRID Alternatives also delivers solar job training as part of their mission. Small and mid-sized installation companies install much of the solar energy deployed in the US, and having a workforce of well-trained installation technicians is a key part of the solar value chain.”

Nationally, GRID Alternatives has installed over 24 megawatts of solar power for low-income communities using Enphase microinverters, benefiting nearly 7,000 families, and has provided job trainees and volunteers with 494,000 hours of solar education and training.
