Enphase CEO Paul Nahi believes that 2010 will be “another excellent year for the company. We see the residential solar market continuing to gain momentum and an uptick in larger commercial activity. Sanjeev’s depth of experience in the broader energy sector and proven track record of successful financial leadership will help guide Enphase through the next phase of global expansion.”

Kumar said he is “excited to be coming on board at Enphase during such a pivotal time for the company. With strong technology innovations and a driven leadership team Enphase is already a solar market leader. Looking ahead, Enphase is well positioned to continue its growth globally, and I look forward to using my expertise to accomplish this goal.”
