“We were lucky to have launched our company around the same time that Enphase released its microinverter technology,” said Chris DeBone, co-founder, HEC. “We immediately recognized that this technology would make it easier to design and install systems, while also boosting their performance.”

“HEC’s rapid growth is a great example of how Enphase Microinverters are fundamentally changing the solar industry,” said Raghu Belur, co-founder and vice president of marketing, Enphase Energy. “Enphase technology enables a whole new set of solar solutions that help system integrators expand their businesses.”
