US-based manufacturer Enphase said this week that it will begin producing micro-inverters in Timisoara, Romania, from the first quarter of 2023. The company's factory will be located at the Romanian production site of its partner, Flextronics.
The two companies signed a license agreement in 2017.
“This is a transformational moment for clean energy in Europe and across the globe,” said Enphase CEO Badri Kothandaraman. “Policymakers are setting ambitious new targets to help accelerate the transition to a more electrified future, and we expect to help meet the growing demand with our leading solar, battery, and EV charging solutions. I want to thank Flex for being such a strong partner in our global manufacturing strategy and supporting our efforts to better serve our customers while maintaining our product quality.”
