Lab to focus on technical support, analysis and certification for
Enphase products
PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), today announced the development of a new
lab facility in Lyon, France, focused on a local test environment for
the company's European products. The testing lab will allow Enphase to
monitor, support and ensure compliance of its products from within
Europe. Enphase opened offices in Lyon, France, which also serves the
Benelux region, and Milan, Italy, in March 2011 and continues to expand
in support of its market growth in Europe.

"The European market is crucial in our development strategy and building
out our global presence," said Olivier Jacques, director of Enphase
Energy France and Benelux. "Expanding with this new lab demonstrates our
commitment to the European markets as well as our ability to quickly
address customer needs."
According to IMS Research, the Benelux region has seen an impressive,
steady increase in solar installations over the last several years. IMS
notes in 2008, Benelux saw 52 MW of solar systems installed, with this
number jumping to 765 MW in 2011. The region is projected to continue
growing to 833 MW by 2013. IMS also projects that France will remain a
sizable market for solar installations in the coming years.
The primary mission of the European testing lab is to provide local
technical support and analysis for Enphase® Microinverters
deployed in the France and Benelux regions. The new European lab will
work in tandem with the North American lab at Enphase headquarters to
create global consistency and facilitate regional knowledge sharing.
Product certification activities will also take place at the new testing
lab in conjunction with North America. State-of-the-art environmental
and simulation testing equipment will populate the new facility as well
as tools to test Enphase products for the European grid.
