Enphase Energy Signs Strategic Partnership with Solar Partners New Zealand

Enphase Energy, Inc.

today announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Solar Partners New Zealand (SPNZ), a leading solar wholesaler, trainer and business support hub. Solar Partners New Zealand will distribute the world-leading Enphase Solar Energy System to key installers across the country. The Solar Partners New Zealand partnership falls in line with Enphase's aggressive growth following the company's recent opening of a second Australian office in Sydney, whilst undergoing a substantial expansion of its New Zealand Engineering Office. "As a rule, distribution partnerships are selected with great care at Enphase and we feel strongly that Solar Partners will deliver substantial value to our growth plans in New Zealand," said Nathan Dunn, managing director for Enphase in the Asia-Pacific. "Enphase Energy is proud to be working with Solar Partners, a company that is shunning the classic distributor model to provide a multi-faceted, strategic service that is much needed by solar installers. With industry veteran and experienced solar installer, Bernie Dombroski, at the helm, Solar Partners NZ is uniquely positioned to deliver Enphase's premium products to the New Zealand solar market," Dunn said. "We are looking forward to partnering with a global leader in innovative solar technology," said Bernie Dombroski, managing director at Solar Partners New Zealand. "This partnership will further fuel our commitment to New Zealand and help deliver on our promise to provide installers with leading solar technology, training and strategic counsel that offers their business a competitive edge." Enphase's distribution account manager in the region, Ben Bishop, said, "This is great news for customers of Solar Partners New Zealand who can now access the Enphase Solar Energy System, with its unmatched safety and reliability backed by the industry's most rigorous testing–one million power-on hours under stress conditions per product generation." Using Enphase's web-based monitoring platform, Enlighten Manager, installers can see in real-time the health and performance of their full fleet of solar systems in much greater detail than with any other inverter or optimizer on the market. Enphase is also soon to launch the revolutionary Envoy-S with bi-directional communication that includes generation and consumption monitoring, as well as dramatically enhanced control capabilities. The Enphase Solar Energy System is available now through Solar Partners New Zealand - www.solarpartnersnz.co.nz.
