As an experienced solar installer, I decided to concentrate on Enphase products because my customers have been very happy with them, which has helped build a good reputation for my business.”

Besides, the microinverters manufacturer claimed that its products are subjected to rigorous reliability and quality testing regimen with over an aggregated 1 million hours of cumulative power-on testing to ensure exceptional performance under heat, high humidity, salty air, and extreme cold.
