EH Smith Sustainable Products joins Enphase Energy distributor network

EH Smith Sustainable Products has announced a distribution agreement with Enphase Energy, the solar microinverter systems company.

Traditionally a specialist in heavyside building materials, the partnership comes as EH Smith has increased its presence in the sustainability segment with the creation of the new business - EH Smith Sustainable Products - and has strengthened its focus on the solar PV market.

Andrew Oram, sales manager for EH Smith Sustainable Products, is delighted with the new partnership: “Enphase has created a paradigm shift in the performance of solar energy. Its microinverters ensure that solar panels work more efficiently and therefore deliver a more powerful commercial return than traditional string or central inverters. Our customers are snapping up their microinverters and we are rapidly-building a strong supply pipeline with Enphase that will make a real difference to how the UK views solar energy.”

Simon Baggaley, UK sales director at Enphase Energy, added: “We are delighted to work with EH Smith Sustainable Products as it values partnership. Enphase entered the UK market about two years ago, and we have grown rapidly by keeping a strong momentum in 2014. Partners like EH Smith, serving with strong links with long-term loyal installer customers and robust local authority relationships, are a great fit with the Enphase way of doing business. We properly serve and support installers in this market thanks to our highly-specialised technical customer support team combined with the expertise on renewables and advisory approach that EH Smith Sustainable Products offers.”
