PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) and Ingersoll-Rand Nexia Intelligence
LLC, are working together to evolve smart home energy monitoring offered
by Nexia™
Home Intelligence, a brand of Ingersoll Rand and leader in home
intelligence and automation. These collaborative efforts are aimed at
integrating the performance data from rooftop solar photovoltaic systems
using Enphase® Microinverters and making it accessible
via the Nexia Home Intelligence platform. This offers builders and
homeowners a robust and comprehensive home intelligence solution that
integrates not only home automation capabilities, but also renewable
energy production data.
Nexia Home Intelligence brings together the best home automation
technology into a single, easy-to-use platform, allowing consumers to
stay connected to what matters most. Nexia subscribers can control
products throughout their home including locks, lights, thermostats,
cameras, sensors, and more, all from their smartphone or computer. By
collaborating with Enphase, the national leader in residential solar
technology, Nexia Home Intelligence will greatly enhance the management
and monitoring aspects of home-energy use by including energy production
data for the first time.
"As the importance and penetration of solar power increases every year,
we have been looking to bring renewable energy generation information
into the data accessible via Nexia Home Intelligence," stated George
Land, director of engineering for Nexia Home Intelligence. "With
Enphase's industry-leading microinverter technology, and especially our
ability to interface with the Enphase Enlighten API (application
programming interface), we are excited about developing the ability to
integrate solar energy production data and monitoring into our Nexia
Home Intelligence platform for homeowners."
"The relationship with Nexia represents the perfect joining of smart
solar and intelligent home technologies," commented Raghu Belur, vice
president of products and strategic initiatives at Enphase. "With the
recent launch of our fourth-generation Enphase System, this
collaboration provides another example of how Enphase continues to
expand its offerings for U.S. residential solar customers."
Lennar, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, sees the value of
these joint efforts and already includes the Nexia Home Intelligence
platform and a solar-power system with Enphase Microinverters as
standard features in many of its new-home communities. The combination
allows Lennar homeowners to enjoy the cost savings and environmental
benefits of solar power at no up-front cost and gives them unmatched
control over their home's core functions — from heating and cooling to
door locks and lighting.
"Residential solar and home automation used to be costly and often
complicated add-ons, but the innovative collaboration between Enphase
and Nexia allows Lennar to bring advanced living to buyers at all price
points," said Fred Stefany, vice president of customer experience at
Lennar Ventures. "Enphase and Nexia's technological leadership continues
to expand the range of benefits buyers should come to expect when
shopping for a new home."
