Solar energy is a cost-effective non-conventional energy source and a practical renewable response to rising green house gas emissions and global warming. Solar energy is one of the most dependable energy sources available, and it has proven to be a viable alternative to fossil fuels which pollute the environment and contribute to global warming. SolarPV, solar thermal, concentrated solar thermal (power), and concentrated PV are some of the technologies used. Increased environmental degradation and government incentives to install solar panels are driving the growth of the solar energy sector. Enphase Energy has revolutionized the solar industry, with its micro inverter based technology and a fully integrated solar energy generation plus battery solution. It brings solar energy generation, batteries, and software together in one complete package.

Founded in 2006, Enphase revolutionized the solar industry with its ground breaking micro-inverter technology, which converts sunlight into a safe, dependable, resilient, and scalable source of electricity. Enphase has installed over 45 million micro inverter in over 2.0 million homes in over 135 countries, assisting millions of people in gaining access to reliable energy while also providing excellent jobs and a more carbon-free future for all.

"Enphase is a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of micro inverter based solar and battery systems that enable people to harness the
sun to make, use, save and sell their own power and control it with a smart mobile phone application. The Enphase Energy System brings solar energy generation, batteries, and software together in one complete package", speaks Ashish Bansal, VP, Enphase.

Safety is a significant factor for Enphase
Enphase gives high importance to safety. On the roof, a string inverter system with 10 panels generates 500-volt DC. This high voltage power from string inverters creates a great risk of catching fire. A typical 10-panel micro-inverter system, on the other hand, would create only 50 volts of DC per panel and transfer it to the system. Users may monitor solar energy output and usage in realtime, analyze trends in system performance, inspect every module of the system, and check their account and notifications by combining this with plug-and-play installation and the Enphase App. Among the various services it provides, its installers also handle regulatory approvals from the local DISCOM.

"The Enphase IQ Microinverter offers many advantages over conventional solar inverters, like string inverters. Semiconductor integration, predictive control, and software defined architecture, all encased within a case barely bigger than a phone, makes the Enphase IQ Micro-inverter highly efficient with no cable underlays. Performance, reliability, and safety are major advantages, especially for a market like India", briefs Ashish.

Enphase sees tremendous development potential in India, and it is actively involved in the Indian solar sector with over 1500 personnel from India accounting for about half of their global employment, working on global goods and cutting-edge technology.

Enphase helps installers and home owners satisfy their solar energy needs. Enphase has over 300 installers selling and installing its products in India. Enphase already offers residential solar, small commercial solar, ongrid solar, offgrid solar and battery grid services, EVSE, and Installer Platform Services in some markets outside India. And is on its way to bring these offers to India soon along with some other countries. Currently it is working on many products to expand its present offering of products and services, as well as providing its installers with a complete digital platform.
