Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company,
announced today that South Australian electricity distribution network,
SA Power Networks, will work with the company to conduct distributed
residential energy storage trials for the Enphase Storage System that
includes the Enphase® AC Battery™, a scalable, modular energy
storage system that seamlessly integrates with the Enphase®
Home Energy Solution.
SA Power Networks is the sole operator and manager of South Australia’s
distribution network, which has a high residential solar penetration of
about 25 percent, making it the perfect testing ground for the Enphase
Storage System.
“Enphase is delighted to be working with SA Power Networks for our
inaugural trial with a large-scale utility provider in Australia,” said
Greg Wolfson, storage product line director at Enphase. “As we prepare
for the launch of the Enphase Home Energy Solution in Australia, these
trials will help us gain insights into how energy storage can help
utility providers improve their load management and develop business
models for residential energy storage.”
“Ensuring grid stability is one of the most significant issues to
address with solar power increasing its penetration into the electricity
grid in Australia,” said Nathan Dunn, managing director for Enphase
Energy Asia-Pacific. “The introduction of energy storage on the grid
will provide greater stability, which is a win for both service
providers and residential customers.”
