By JD Dillon Building tangible things in the material world isn’t really my forte. I build business processes for profitable growth, but I’m easily lost with hammers, nails, and tool belts. When I joined the Enphase team last summer, I didn’t know what I didn’t know about the world of solar. I’d seen panels on rooftops, I’d understood the benefits to both the environment and consumers’ pocketbooks, but the nitty gritty was pretty foreign.

It’s not an exaggeration – our firefighters are our local heroes. We rely on them in countless emergency situations: house and bush fires, road crash rescues, storms and natural disasters, and even missing persons and forensic searches.

Though the practice of “over-sizing” solar modules relative to the inverter has existed for decades, it remains one of...

Just like the Indian government when it comes to solar, Enphase doesn’t commit to anything half-hearted.

It's a beautiful combination -- better technology, wider availability, greater popularity, tax credits. All working together, it's making solar more affordable than ever. In fact, the total cost of installing a residential solar system has fallen by nearly 80% in the past 20 years.
