Enphase Energy Inc recently showcased its India manufacturing unit, setup in partnership with Salcomp. The Enphase-Salcomp unit has emerged as India’s largest solar inverter manufacturer with an annual capacity of more than 6 million units.
Based at Salcomp SEZ in Sriperumbudur near Chennai, it produces the Enphase IQ Microinverters, which are currently being exported, thus making the unit one of the largest solar equipment exporters in India, in terms of number of units.
Most advanced
The Enphase IQ microinverters are some of the most advanced solar inverters in the market that enhance solar energy output while making the entire solar energy system more reliable, efficient, and safer. Every microinverter is powered by semiconductor integration, predictive control, and a technically configurable architecture. And each microinverter undergoes rigorous functional and reliability testing. The one-of-a-kind, high-tech automation manufacturing unit is certified with ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001.
India’s growth potential
Speaking about Enphase Energy’s India focus, Sunil Thamaran, VP and MD at Enphase Energy India, said, “Enphase sees incredible growth potential in India and has partnered with Salcomp to provide an impetus both domestically and export-wise for India. We have exported millions of microinverters to North America, Europe, and Asia from this plant. Besides that, about 60 percent of Enphase Energy’s global workforce is in India. We play a crucial role in designing and developing hardware and software components, which creates the market-leading solar-plus-storage-based energy management system.”
