“Enphase microinverters have been a game changer for our commercial installs—saving time, simplifying design, and ensuring compliance with rapid shutdown and module-level monitoring. Their reliability and 25-year warranty make them an easy choice for us and our customers.”

Why solar?
Amy's Kitchen is the largest manufacturer of vegetarian/organic prepared meals in the US. As a mission driven family company, Amy's has always been focused on operating in a way that supports communities and the environment. Investing in solar energy is an important embodiment of that commitment.
“Amy's recently moved into a permanent headquarters building in downtown Petaluma. This was no ordinary office move as the company sought to develop a space that fits the company culture and values.” explained Renaud des Rosiers, Director of Sustainability. “To achieve this, the company restored a historic building rather than building a new greenfield site and put a large PV system on the roof to offset as much grid energy use as possible.”
Why Enphase?
Experienced installers are dedicated to providing the highest quality products and service to ensure the best experience for every customer. This commitment is echoed by owner Eric McDonell, who shares, “MEI Renewables Inc. and McDonell Electric, Inc. choose Enphase for its reliability, ease of installation, and long-term value. Their 25-year warranty gives our customers confidence and reduces long-term maintenance concerns.” This solar investment will benefit Amy’s Kitchen, Inc. for years to come, aligning perfectly with their core principles and values.
