FREMONT, Calif., March 15, 2022 (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, announced today the acquisition of SolarLeadFactory LLC.

"For the past two years, we have executed on our installer digital platform strategy with the acquisitions of Sofdesk for solar design software, DIN's solar business for proposal and permitting services, 365 Pronto for O&M platform software, and now SolarLeadFactory for high-quality lead generation," said Badri Kothandaraman, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. "We chose the SolarLeadFactory team based on their high-quality mindset and operational efficiency. We are pleased to welcome the team and SolarLeadFactory's customers to Enphase."

"I'm extremely excited about the ways that Enphase can help us reduce the installer's customer acquisition costs, which are high in the U.S.," said Clayton Cornell, CEO of SolarLeadFactory.
