New installation support tool bolsters Enphase's commercial solar offering

PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), and Folsom Labs announced the availability of Folsom Labs' advanced HelioScope solar photovoltaic (PV) system design software for commercial Enphase installations. Folsom Labs has incorporated Enphase® Microinverter Systems—including the new C250 microinverter for medium- and large-scale commercial installations—into HelioScope to streamline the sales and engineering workflow for commercial PV system designers.

"Companies such as Folsom Labs are driving innovation in the solar value chain to directly accelerate the adoption of solar power generation," said Stefan Zschiegner, vice president of product management at Enphase Energy. "As a cloud-based platform, Folsom Labs' project collaboration technology allows EPCs to share designs with Enphase and project finance partners to fast-track project development."

HelioScope helps simplify PV system design and reduce the upfront soft costs of deploying solar. The integration of the Folsom Labs software with Enphase systems will permit installers to quickly assess the viability of each potential commercial project in an efficient and accurate manner.

"HelioScope breaks the traditional engineering trade-off between speed and quality to help growing solar installer companies do more with less," said Paul Gibbs, CEO of Folsom Labs. "These are the same qualities that have put Enphase microinverters in high demand - which is why the combination of the two products has been one of our most commonly requested features."

HelioScope not only speeds up the design process, it also incorporates high-quality production estimates that capture the additional 3-15% power produced by Enphase's distributed energy conversion architecture. Complex layouts can be assembled rapidly, and the calculation of energy production can be adjusted on the fly as the system is designed.

"As a designer, builder, owner and operator of PV systems, Nexamp is constantly striving to enhance our system design capabilities and familiarity with best-in-class technologies," said Chris Perron, vice president of operations at Nexamp. "HelioScope helps to streamline the process, and its integration with leading equipment suppliers like Enphase is another example of the value that the software provides to our growing design team."

Enphase continues to welcome partners such as Folsom Labs who advance modernization in the solar value supply chain and reduce soft costs. For a limited time, Enphase installers are eligible to receive a discount on their Folsom Labs' HelioScope subscriptions.
