FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters, announced today that on January 28, 2019, the Company repaid in full its senior secured term loan with Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc.

We wish to thank TCP, which has been a very strong partner with us during our financial rebound in the past two years.”
