Enphase Energy Offers Customers Unprecedented Peace of Mind: 15-Year Warranty and 100% Uptime Guarantee for Solar Inverters

2.5 Million Unit Hours of Uninterrupted Service Lead to Groundbreaking Offer

Enphase Energy, Inc., the leading developer and manufacturer of solar micro-inverter systems, today announced the most extensive product warranty in the solar energy equipment industry -- an unprecedented 15-year standard product warranty and a "100% uptime" energy production guarantee. The company is confident in the warranties as a result of its products having achieved 2.5 million unit hours of uninterrupted service and a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 119 years.

"The reliability numbers that our products have achieved are extraordinary," said Paul Nahi, President and CEO of Enphase Energy. "We want to pass the benefits of this quality on to our customers, giving them the most peace of mind for their solar power systems."

The 15-year warranty is standard with no additional charge for all Enphase micro-inverters. With the 100% Uptime Guarantee, Enphase will reimburse customers for any energy lost due to the malfunction of an Enphase product for up to one month. Most solar power inverter vendors offer a standard 10-year warranty and no guarantee for the energy production of their equipment.

"A game-changing product deserves a game-changing customer protection plan," said Enphase co-founder and Vice President of Marketing Raghu Belur. "Our micro-inverter systems have been designed and tested to the highest quality standards. We know our customers will realize the benefits with more productive, reliable and intelligent solar installations."

Unlike traditional solar inverters Enphase Micro-inverters convert the DC output of a single solar module into grid compliant AC power. In addition, they collect and transmit performance data from each module. Micro-inverters eliminate the need for a central inverter and allow for 24/7 monitoring and analysis of each module. The Enphase monitoring system can immediately identify any performance issues, enabling optimal system reliability and availability. Tests have demonstrated that Enphase Micro-inverters can deliver 5 to 25% more energy harvest than systems installed with traditional inverters.

Enphase Energy Micro-inverter Systems are at work in many commercial and residential solar power systems throughout the United States. Enphase Micro-inverters are compatible with most major brands of solar PV modules and are available from leading solar power equipment distributors and installers.
