[{"type":"text","content":"FREMONT, Calif., May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, announced today that installers of Enphase® products in Missouri have seen growing deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ® Microinverters and IQ™ Batteries, as severe weather such as winter ice storms, tornadoes, and summer flooding continues to impact homeowners in the Midwest. Residential battery capacity in Missouri is increasing steadily year-over-year with forecasts estimating deployments will grow nearly 14-fold by the end of 2026, according to the most recent U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report from the Energy Storage Association and Wood Mackenzie. “As demand for energy independence and resilience continues to grow, we’re proud to partner with Enphase,” said Paul Hemmel, owner and chief executive officer at Missouri Solar Solutions, an Enphase Gold level installer. “We have a shared goal to provide our customers with not only top-of-the-line solar and battery technology that delivers some of the most reliable, high-performing systems on the market, but also the best customer experience.” Homeowners in Missouri can now also choose to install Enphase’s revolutionary IQ8™ Microinverters. IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight Backup™ during an outage, even without a battery. For homeowners who want battery backup, there are no sizing restrictions on pairing an Enphase IQ Battery with IQ8 Microinverters.

This eliminates the need for a manual restart of the system and gives homeowners even greater resilience. “We are passionate about helping people become more energy independent, as well as saving our customers money and providing backup power options for their home’s energy needs,” said Keith Murphy, founder and chief executive officer at Astrawatt Solar, an Enphase Gold level installer. “The IQ Battery and IQ8 Microinverter offer reliable clean energy when people need it most.” “Exceptional quality is a cornerstone of our business,” said Bud Pierce, owner of That Solar Company, an Enphase Silver level installer. “Tha...
