Microinverter manufacturer Enphase Energy and Northern California solar installer North State Solar Energy have partnered to install Enphase’s new American Pride Microinverters in commercial and residential solar installations within key counties throughout Northern and Central California.
The American Pride microinverters are U.S.-assembled versions of existing Enphase product lines. A small production facility has been established at the Milpitas, Calif. campus of Enphase’s manufacturing partner, Flextronics. The program provides micros coming off that line to those who prefer made in the USA products.
“We are proud to support North State Solar Energy in their distinct approach to solar in agricultural counties in California, where they place the utmost value on American businesses,” said Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase Energy. “As an American solar success story ourselves, Enphase commends North State for its commitment to local economies and community job preservation.”
North State Solar Energy has been involved with the design and installation of over 200 solar projects with a focus on using American-made or American-assembled solar products. The company has installed Enphase microinverters in the past at site in Artois and Arbuckle, California..
“At North State Solar Energy, we set an example for the solar industry by proving everyday that there is strong market demand for American-made solar,” said Mike Houar, president of North State Solar Energy. “Our regional customers seek quality in the solar products they invest in. Enphase quality is why we sell and install microinverters on all our grid-connected projects.”
