Students of sustainable design and building to install the Enphase
Microinverter System on solar-powered fluxHome
PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced today its support of Team USC
in the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, a biennial
competition powered exclusively by the sun. Team USC has received a
donation of the Enphase
Microinverter System to compete in the design and construction of a
solar-powered house that brings sustainable living to the public.
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon challenges 20 collegiate
teams to design, build and operate solar-powered houses that are
cost-effective, energy-efficient and attractive. The winner of the
competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal
and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum
efficiency. The competition will take place at the Orange County Great
Park in Irvine, Calif. from October 3-13, 2013.
"Enphase is proud to contribute our products to the next generation of
sustainable engineers, architects and professionals," said Bill Rossi,
Chief Marketing Officer of Enphase Energy. "Powered by our innovative
technology, Team USC aims to build a solar house that produces as much
energy or more than it consumes."
"We are thrilled to install Enphase microinverters on our 1,000 square
foot house and to learn more about how microinverters can offer more
efficiency, safety and trouble-shooting capabilities to homeowners and
design engineers," said Christine Tanguay, a student at USC's School of
Architecture and project manager of Team USC.
Team USC is among four teams from California, the top residential solar
market in North America. The team is a collaboration led by the School
of Architecture (SOA), consisting of students, faculty, and researchers
from SOA, the Viterbi School of Engineering, the Annenberg School for
Communication and Journalism, the School of Cinematic Arts, the Rossier
School of Education and the Marshall School of Business.
