[{"type":"text","content":"FREMONT, Calif., June 13, 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 Puerto Rico have seen growing deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ® Microinverters and IQ™ Batteries, with the grid experiencing frequent outages and climate experts forecasting above-average hurricane activity this year. Residential battery capacity in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories is growing steadily year-over-year with forecasts estimating deployments will nearly double by the end of 2026, according to the most recent U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report from the Energy Storage Association and Wood Mackenzie. “Homeowners in Puerto Rico are increasingly motivated to switch to solar and battery storage in order to manage the all too frequent grid outages and the increasingly high electricity prices,” said Brad Spernak, chief technology officer at Pro Solar, an Enphase Platinum level installer. “With state-of-the-art microinverter technology, the Enphase Energy System makes complex energy choices simple so that homeowners can better manage their energy bills and increase energy security, especially in the face of hurricane season.” Homeowners in Puerto Rico can now also choose to install Enphase’s revolutionary IQ8™ Microinverters. IQ8 Microinverter-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 Enphase IQ Batteries with IQ8 Microinverters.

This eliminates the need for a manual restart of the system and gives homeowners even greater resilience. “The industry-leading home solar and battery system from Enphase means that Puerto Rico homeowners can put blackouts in the past,” said Enrique González, CEO of Power Solar, an Enphase Platinum level installer. “IQ8 Microinverters and IQ Batteries enable homeowners to have peace of mind with a clean energy source to keep their lights on when the grid goes dark.” “At Solar Roots, we ...
