Enphase Energy Partners with Excel Power to Deliver Solar Projects in Australia
June 15 2020 - 7:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that Excel Power, a leading commercial and
residential solar company with headquarters in Toowoomba,
Australia, is leveraging the safety, reliability, and versatility
of Enphase microinverters to build a growing base of commercial
solar customers.
Excel Power deployed a 50 kW Enphase microinverter-based system
for Wippells Autos, a Jaguar and Land Rover dealership in Toowoomba
City, Queensland. The project brief required a system designed to
match the dealership’s energy consumption, minimize the visibility
of the solar panels, and shield the commercial building from fire
risk. To meet the project brief requirements, Excel Power employed
Enphase IQ 7+™ microinverters, which dramatically simplify the
design and installation process, and offer a complete AC system
that produces no high-voltage DC, providing a safe solar solution.
In addition, Wippells Autos’ solar system is outfitted with the
Enphase Envoy™ communications gateway, which connects the system to
the Enphase Enlighten™ monitoring platform and makes per-panel
energy monitoring and insights for operations and maintenance
easy.
“Excel Power has provided commercial and residential solar
solutions in the Darling Downs region of southern Queensland for
more than 25 years,” said Michael Reiken, director at Excel Power.
“We have exclusively utilized Enphase microinverters for all solar
projects since we discovered the technology in 2016. Enphase offers
smarter, better, and safer solar, which future-proofs not only our
customers, but also our business, aligning with our mission to
realize the long-term benefits of a renewable energy future.”
Another example where Excel Power leveraged the value of Enphase
microinverters is an ongoing project to equip the Queensland Fire
and Emergency Services (QFES) with rugged, high-performance solar
to assist with operational efficiency and enhance sustainability.
To date, Excel Power has installed more than 50 Enphase
microinverter-based systems for QFES.
“We looked for a reliable, safe, and highly productive solar
system to meet our cost reduction needs and do our bit for the
environment,” said Tim Chittenden, acting superintendent and
regional manager at QFES. “We are already seeing excellent
benefits from Enphase microinverter systems with our fire brigades
producing more power than they consume. The use of microinverters
at each panel ensures we will have a long-lasting, low maintenance
solar asset with the highest of safety standards.”
Enphase microinverters are subjected to a rigorous reliability
and quality testing regimen with more than one million cumulative
hours of power-on testing to ensure exceptional performance under
heat, high humidity, salty air, extreme cold, and harsh climate
conditions. The Company’s microinverters are designed to be
long-lived energy assets and are backed by a 10-year warranty in
the Australian solar market, which can be extended for a fee to 15,
20, or 25 years.
“Excel Power is a leading example of how a solar operation can
distinguish itself in a competitive market by building a reputation
for quality and safe AC solar using Enphase products,” said Dave
Ranhoff, chief commercial officer at Enphase Energy. “Both
companies share a commitment to provide extremely safe and reliable
solar energy outcomes combined with superior customer experience,
and we look forward to our continued collaboration in the
Australian solar market.”
