4blue has been offering a wide range of Enphase products for more than seven years. Today, the company offers Enphase IQ7™ and IQ8™ family of microinverters, IQ Batteries, and other system components. 4blue sells through its leading e-commerce platform, which includes a world-class system configuration and ordering tool that makes the process of creating a reliable bill of materials simple and fast.
"The quality and reliability of Enphase's IQ Microinverters and IQ Batteries have resulted in strong customer satisfaction, which helps to strengthen our reputation and grow our business,” said Robert-Paul Evers, CEO of 4blue. "We take pride in helping our installer partners source and deeply understand Enphase's home energy management solutions to help meet the needs of their customers from sale to install to ongoing operations and maintenance.”
IQ Microinverters leverage Enphase's unique software-defined architecture and semiconductor integration for excellent reliability and economies of scale. Enphase microinverters are subjected to a rigorous reliability and quality testing regimen with more than one million hours of power-on testing to ensure exceptional performance under heat, high humidity, salty air, extreme cold, and harsh climate conditions. IQ Microinverters come with a 25-year limited warranty in select European countries.
Enphase delivers a safe solar-plus-battery solution that does not expose installers or homeowners to high-voltage DC. Enphase IQ Batteries feature Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, which provides a long cycle life and safer operation through excellent thermal stability. The Enphase IQ Batteries accommodate over-the-air software upgrades and come with a 15-year limited warranty in select European countries.
"Our growing relationship with 4blue is a testament to a shared focus on quality, safety, and reliability,” said Marco Krapels, vice president of international sales at Enphase Energy.
