PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
World Economic Forum today announced that Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) has been recognized as a 2013 Technology
Pioneer. Enphase is one of 23 pioneering technology companies recognized
this year by the Forum for innovation and leadership in the areas of
information technology, telecommunications and new media, life sciences
and health, and energy and environment. A full list of the 2013
Technology Pioneers and the annual report can be found at: http://www.weforum.org/techpioneers.
"We've seen the rapid adoption of our microinverter technology since we
began shipments over four years ago, and it is used today in over 44,000
solar energy systems across the globe. Every system using Enphase
generates more clean energy, and therefore greater environmental
benefits, for anyone looking to take control of their energy costs and
footprint," said Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase Energy. "We are truly honored
to be recognized for our accomplishments by the World Economic Forum and
to join the prestigious ranks of the Technology Pioneers."
Each year, the World Economic Forum chooses 23-35 new Technology
Pioneers from hundreds of applicants. A selection committee, comprised
of top technology and innovation experts, academics and venture
capitalists, reviews all applications before making its recommendation
to the World Economic Forum. Technology Pioneers are chosen based on
their innovation, potential impact, growth and sustainability, proof of
concept and leadership.
Silvia von Gunten, head of Technology Pioneers at World Economic Forum,
commented about this year's winners, "These companies are more than
pioneering the way we use technology; they are transforming how we as a
society are growing and interacting with each other. They are also
providing new opportunities for people to harness the potential of
technology."
The Enphase®
Microinverter System brings a new approach to managing solar power
that makes solar systems smarter and more efficient. Each microinverter
integrates with advanced networking technology and Enlighten,
Enphase's web-based monitoring software, to allow system owners to
visualize their solar array's clean energy production via the Internet.
To date, the Enlighten
community has generated over 440 GW hours of solar energy,
offsetting over 300,000 tons of CO2. This is equivalent to powering over
41,775 U.S. households and saving 26,354 acres of forest.
Enphase will be honored for its achievements at the World Economic
Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2012 in Tianjin, People's
Republic of China from September 11-12.
