PETALUMA, Calif.--()--Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company, has been selected as the preferred inverter supplier and module-level power electronics (MLPE) partner for Vision Solar via its distribution arrangement with electrical distributor, Gexpro. Fueled by 400% year-on-year growth, Vision Solar is one of the nation's fastest growing, full-service residential solar installers, with operations in California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, New Jersey, and South Carolina.

Vision Solar cited Enphase’s simplicity of design and installation, quality and reliability of its equipment, 25-year warranty, and comprehensive services as some of the compelling reasons behind the installer’s decision to replace its existing MLPE supplier.

“The Enphase solution surpasses any other competing inverter offering on the market,” said Matt Rasmussen, CEO of Vision Solar. “Our sales and installations have quadrupled over the past 12 months, and we are excited about Enphase’s technology roadmap and its vision for the future of energy. We look forward to offering our customers Enphase’s energy management solutions, including the AC Battery.”

The strong channel relationship between Enphase, Vision Solar, and Gexpro helped Vision Solar in its decision to switch to Enphase.

“Enphase products are an integral part of our solar solutions offering,” said Robert Logan, Pacific Division vice president at Gexpro. “Enphase is not only a distribution-friendly manufacturer, but is also a strong partner that seeks our input regarding its product development efforts.”

“As one of our fastest-growing customers, Vision Solar counts on Gexpro to perform. We work hard to provide a consistent and repeatable service model wherever they operate. Our goal is to provide top-tier service to Vision Solar and work as a partner to support their expansion,” added Logan.

"Since its entry into the residential space in 2013, Vision Solar has exceeded the megawatt-per-month mark and has become a sales and installation leader in the geographies it serves,” said Carol Giles Neslund, vice president, Americas, at Enphase Energy. "Vision Solar chose Enphase because we offer the smartest, most scalable and cost-effective solar solution, both for Vision’s design and installation teams, as well as for its customers leasing or buying the systems.”

Enphase Energy will be showcasing its suite of solar and energy management technologies at Solar Power International 2015, from September 15-17 at the Anaheim (CA) Convention Center.
