Insights
Brazil's new safety standard NBR 17193 creates a significant competitive advantage for Enphase in the Brazilian solar market. The requirement for rapid shutdown functionality and reduced high-voltage DC risks perfectly aligns with Enphase's existing microinverter technology, giving them an immediate market advantage without requiring product modifications or additional R&D investment.
This regulatory tailwind creates an entry barrier against competitors using traditional string inverters who may need to redesign their offerings to meet these requirements. During this adaptation period, Enphase can continue selling without interruption, potentially capturing additional market share with zero additional compliance costs.
The presence of three Brazilian installers providing testimonials (Onway Energy, Solusun, and EnergySeg) signals Enphase has already established distribution channels in the country. Their 25-year warranty offering demonstrates confidence in product reliability and commitment to the Brazilian market.
While the announcement lacks specific revenue projections or Brazilian market size data, this development represents external validation of Enphase's safety-focused design philosophy. The alignment between regulatory evolution and Enphase's existing technology platform creates a favorable growth environment in what could be an important Latin American market for the company's expansion strategy.
FREMONT, Calif., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today commended the introduction of Brazil's new fire safety standard, Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) NBR 17193, which outlines stringent recommendations like rapid shutdown functionality requirements for solar installations in all buildings.
The new standard emphasizes the importance of safety in solar energy systems, particularly focusing on reducing fire hazards associated with high-voltage direct current (DC) energy components like centralized “string” inverters. Enphase’s microinverter technology intelligently converts low-voltage DC from solar panels into safe low-voltage alternating current (AC) right at the panel, inherently aligning with the new safety standard objectives by eliminating the need for high-voltage DC in residential and commercial solar installations.
Additionally, all Enphase microinverters support rapid shutdown functionality, a critical safety feature that allows for the immediate de-energization of the system in emergency situations. The new safety standard recommends that all solar installations in Brazil have rapid shutdown functionality before connecting to the grid. This capability not only helps protect property, people, and emergency personnel but also aligns with global best practices for solar system safety. Brazil installers and distributors can learn more about the standard on the Enphase website (English and Portuguese).
“Enphase’s microinverters have revolutionized our approach to solar installations,” said Adriano Coury, CEO of Onway Energy, an installer of Enphase products in Brazil. “The low-voltage AC design not only simplifies the installation process but also significantly reduces fire risks to help protect homeowners and emergency response teams.”
“Safety is paramount in our operations,” said João Lucas Silva, CEO of Solusun, an installer of Enphase products in Brazil. “With Enphase’s microinverters, we can offer our clients a solution that complies with the latest safety standards and provides peace of mind.”
“Enphase’s microinverters arrived in the Brazilian market meeting all safety requirements, ensuring protection for installers and homeowners,” said Marcel Ciriaco, founder of EnergySeg, an installer of Enphase’s products in Brazil. “The NBR 17193 corroborates the compliance of Enphase’s microinverters with global safety standards. Therefore, our Enphase customers will continue to benefit from the credibility and technological efficiency of our solution.”
“This critical new safety standard is a significant milestone for the Brazilian solar industry, setting new benchmarks for safety and reliability,” said Ken Fong, senior vice president and general manager of the Americas and APAC at Enphase Energy. “Our microinverter technology is designed to meet and exceed these standards, providing Brazilian customers with safe, reliable, and high-performance solar energy solutions.”
Installers of Enphase’s products in Brazil can order IQ8P™ Microinverters today, with peak output AC power of 480 W, supporting newer high-powered solar modules. All IQ8P Microinverters activated in Brazil come with a 25-year limited warranty. For more information about Enphase Energy in Brazil, please visit the website.
