[{"type":"text","content":"FREMONT, Calif., June 23, 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 New Mexico have seen growing deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ® Microinverters and IQ™ Batteries as the state prepares for extreme heat forecasts this summer that are predicted to threaten grid reliability. Residential battery capacity in New Mexico is increasing year-over-year with forecasts estimating deployments will grow nearly eight-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. “We are bracing for a particularly brutal heatwave this summer that will put considerable strain on the grid and potentially lead to more power outages than usual,” said Christopher Fortson, an employee owner and marketing director at Positive Energy Solar, an Enphase Gold level installer. “Enphase Energy Systems with IQ Batteries allow our customers to rest easy thanks to their leading performance, reliability, durability, and safety; meeting our stringent criteria for implementing products that can hold up to New Mexico's harsh desert climate.” Homeowners in New Mexico can now also choose to install Enphase’s IQ8™ Microinverters. IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight Backup™ functionality 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 love working with Enphase because the company aligns with our values of creating a superior customer experience by providing outstanding quality and service,” said Dave Brady, officer at Erus Energy, an Enphase Gold level installer. “Enphase Energy Systems with IQ Batteries give our customers more energy independence even when the grid is down, offering them the ultimate peace of mind.” “Making the decision to go solar ...
