<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

crafted propaganda. The first problem EnPhase had is that they discontinued one
product, without sufficient notice to their supply chain. This resulted in unfulfilled
orders, sore distributors, aggravated installers and irate customers. As to “expectations”
we can only guess whether the statement is factual, as we are not privy to
EnPhase’s expectations.</span></font></p>

exceeding expectations leading to] “challenges with product availability”
is also misleading. Lack of [new] product availability was a consequence to a problematic
transition to a contract manufacturer. So Enphase could not longer deliver the
old product and was not able to deliver the new product either. Under the
circumstances, they couldn’t fulfill a single order.</span></font></p>

filter marketing (i.e. propaganda) statements from manufacturer

There is NO RECALL of any Enphase products. There has NEVER been a recall
of any Enphase product.<br>
<br>
Demand has far exceeded our expectations. This has led to challenges with
product availability which may have resulted in misinformation in the field.<br>
<br>
Ramping up production is our number one priority. However, we refuse to
compromise product quality. We insist that all products delivered continue to
meet our stringent quality standards.<br>

We really appreciate your support and continued understanding as we work
through these temporary supply issues.</span></font></p>
