Partnership addresses growing demand for affordable solar energy in
Puerto Rico and Caribbean markets
PETALUMA, Calif. & SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) and Puerto Rico's New
Energy Consultants announced today that they have entered into a
strategic partnership to bring affordable solar energy to residential
and commercial customers in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean markets. The
partnership calls for Enphase® Microinverter Systems to be
installed in 100 percent of residential systems deployed by New Energy
in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Local distributor Warren
del Caribe, a Sonepar company, will provide logistics.
"We want to align ourselves with the world leader in microinverter
technology," said Vale Aldamuy, president of New Energy. "The Enphase
system offers greater productivity and efficiency in renewable energy
equipment, a solid warranty, easy installation and lower overall cost of
ownership. This partnership with Enphase Energy will help accelerate
solar adoption in our region."
"As a dynamic and fast-growing company in the region, New Energy has
been a visionary in leading the early adoption of AC solar in Puerto
Rico and championing the EnphaseMicroinverter System for
several years," said Jeff Loebbaka, senior vice president of sales,
marketing and support for Enphase. "We are committed to working with
local partners like New Energy and Warren del Caribe to support the
development of the Puerto Rican and Caribbean solar markets."
"Warren del Caribe is proud to be an Enphase authorized distributor,"
said Kris Koch, business development manager at Warren del Caribe. "We
are committed to providing the best microinverter solutions in the
marketplace and are continually expanding and improving our solutions.
Enphase's microinverter system is especially beneficial in the Caribbean
region because it is compatible with multiple grid types and parameters
that would prove challenging for any other single microinverter."
Because of its modularity, simplicity of installation, advanced
monitoring and remote diagnostics, the Enphase Microinverter System
brings increased operational efficiency and scalability to rapidly
growing solar companies like New Energy. Since many solar installers
throughout the Caribbean realize the advantages of working with a single
microinverter SKU, distributors such as Warren de Caribe can lower their
operating costs thanks to simplified logistics and inventory management.
