A Emphase Energy announced, this Wednesday (05), the initial shipments of IQ Microinverters produced in the city of Columbia, South Carolina (USA), by global manufacturer Flex.
This marks the first production from one of Enphase's three contract manufacturing partnerships in the United States, helping to meet strong global demand for the company's products.
The Inflation Reduction Act allowed Enphase to begin manufacturing in the U.S., creating new jobs, boosting the country's clean energy economy and contributing to business growth.
The company and Flex will hold an event and a tour, starting this Thursday (06), at the Flex factory in Columbia. Among those present will be Joe Biden, President of the United States, Revathi Advaithi, CEO of Flex, and Badri Kothandaraman, President and CEO of Enphase Energy.
“Enphase shares our commitment to accelerating the world’s transition to clean energy through advanced technology and strategic regional manufacturing,” said Advaithi.
“We are pleased that President Biden was able to visit our manufacturing operations at the Flex plant in South Carolina, and we appreciate his support of companies investing in domestic manufacturing,” highlighted Kothandaraman.
“We also thank Flex for its commitment as a valued partner globally over the past 15 years and are pleased to expand our partnership in the US to better serve our customers with local manufacturing,” the executive emphasized.
