Enphase Energy IQ8 Microinverters Selected for Belgium Radioactive Waste Facility
Enphase IQ8 Microinverters selected for safer AC system architecture, emphasis on cybersecurity, and superior reliability and performance
FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today announced that IQ8™ Microinverters were selected for a 2.2 MW solar project at the radioactive waste facility in Dessel, Belgium. Earth, a leading installer of Enphase’s products based in Belgium, will lead the installation and commissioning of the project.
The project includes 4,000 IQ8HC™ Microinverters and will span four rooftops of the radioactive waste facility, with plans to expand capacity from 2.2 MW to 6 to 8 MW in the coming years. Enphase’s products were selected for safer alternating current (AC)-based system architecture using low-voltage electricity, emphasis on cybersecurity, and superior reliability and performance. Once completed in 2026, this is expected to be the largest Enphase project worldwide.
Belgoprocess is a Belgium-based environmental company dedicated to safe and responsible waste management and nuclear facility decommissioning. It specializes in managing radioactive waste generated from medical, industrial, and scientific applications, as well as nuclear power production. Belgoprocess is committed to operational excellence and takes stringent measures to ensure environmental safety throughout its processes.
“We are thrilled to partner with Enphase and Earth because of their outstanding reputations and commitment to safety and reliability,” said Wim Van Laer, chief executive officer of Belgoprocess. “Given the scale and location of this project, Enphase’s microinverters provide us with the confidence we need to ensure the safer, long-term operation of this project, as well as the ability to expand easily over time.”
“The beauty of having dedicated Enphase microinverters on every panel is that each microinverter operates independently, enhancing system efficiency and safety by converting DC to AC right at the source,” said Luc Demeyere, CEO at Earth. “This distributed architecture eliminates the risks associated with high-voltage DC power while providing the sophisticated panel-level monitoring we need. Enphase delivers the operational reliability, safety features, and long-term value that align with the interests of our customers like Belgoprocess.”
“This project with Earth and Belgoprocess not only highlights our products’ capabilities but also paves the way for groundbreaking possibilities for solar across markets,” said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy. “We are excited about this project in Belgium, as it showcases our ongoing dedication to safety, security, and reliability.”
In September, Enphase the launch of its IQ® Battery 5P, its most powerful home battery to date, and IQ® Energy Management Software, its new artificial intelligence-based energy management software to enable support for dynamic electricity rates and the integration of third-party EV chargers and heat pumps in Belgium.
