Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has secured its second safe harbor agreement with a leading solar and battery financing company, expected to generate $50 million in revenue. The agreement focuses on U.S.-manufactured IQ8HC™ Microinverters and aims to preserve eligibility for both base investment tax credit (ITC) and domestic content bonus credit.

This strategic move follows the new U.S. federal budget bill signed in July 2025 and strengthens Enphase's position in the third-party ownership (TPO) segment, which includes leases and power purchase agreements. The company anticipates additional financing providers to join with similar agreements in the coming months.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) ha ottenuto il suo secondo accordo di safe harbor con una primaria società di finanziamento per pannelli solari e batterie, che dovrebbe generare $50 million in revenue. L’intesa riguarda i Microinverter IQ8HC™ prodotti negli Stati Uniti e mira a mantenere l’idoneità sia per il credito d’imposta sugli investimenti base (ITC) sia per il credito bonus per contenuti domestici.

Questa mossa strategica segue la nuova legge sul bilancio federale USA firmata nel luglio 2025 e rafforza la posizione di Enphase nel segmento della terza proprietà (TPO), che include leasing e contratti di acquisto di energia. L’azienda prevede che nei prossimi mesi altri finanziatori aderiranno con accordi simili.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) ha asegurado su segundo acuerdo de "safe harbor" con una importante compañía de financiación de energía solar y baterías, que se espera genere $50 million in revenue. El acuerdo se centra en los microinversores IQ8HC™ fabricados en EE. UU. y busca preservar la elegibilidad tanto para el crédito fiscal por inversión base (ITC) como para el crédito adicional por contenido nacional.

Esta iniciativa estratégica sigue a la nueva ley del presupuesto federal de EE. UU. firmada en julio de 2025 y fortalece la posición de Enphase en el segmento de propiedad de terceros (TPO), que incluye arrendamientos y acuerdos de compra de energía. La compañía anticipa que en los próximos meses se unirán más proveedores de financiación con acuerdos similares.

Insights

Enphase secures $50M revenue deal that strengthens market position amid favorable policy changes for domestically-manufactured solar components.

Enphase's announcement of a second safe harbor agreement represents a strategic win in the evolving renewable energy landscape. The $50 million revenue-generating deal follows recent federal budget legislation that modified tax incentives for solar projects. What makes this particularly significant is the timing - Enphase is positioning its clients to lock in current tax benefits amid policy fluctuations, creating a compelling value proposition.

The agreement specifically covers Enphase's domestically manufactured IQ8HC™ Microinverters, which qualify for both the base investment tax credit and the domestic content bonus credit. This dual-qualification status gives Enphase a competitive advantage in the third-party ownership (TPO) segment - a channel explicitly described as critical for U.S. residential solar growth.

Most notably, management signals that additional financing providers are likely to follow suit in coming months, suggesting this could be part of a larger revenue opportunity beyond the initial $50 million. The company is effectively leveraging policy changes to create demand urgency, as these agreements allow customers to preserve tax benefits regardless of future regulatory shifts.

This development highlights Enphase's adaptability in capitalizing on policy environments to drive sales while strengthening its position in the TPO market segment - a strategic channel for expanding residential solar adoption through leases and power purchase agreements that reduce upfront costs for homeowners.

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 19, 2025 (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, today announced a new safe harbor agreement with another leading solar and battery financing company that offers third-party ownership (TPO) agreements to homeowners, including leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs). This is the second agreement since the new U.S. federal budget bill was signed into law in July 2025.

The agreement, signed earlier in August, is expected to generate approximately $50 million in revenue for Enphase and underscores the company’s strong participation in the TPO segment – a critical growth channel for U.S. residential solar and batteries.

The safe harbor agreement covers Enphase’s U.S.-manufactured IQ8HC™ Microinverters (with “DOM” SKUs), helping future projects preserve eligibility for both the base investment tax credit (ITC) and the domestic content bonus credit. By safe harboring equipment now, solar companies can lock in current tax credit qualifications and reduce risk from future policy changes.

“Safe harbor agreements are a critical tool for keeping solar projects on track despite changing policy landscapes,” said Ken Fong, senior vice president and general manager of the Americas and APAC at Enphase Energy. “These agreements allow developers and financiers to move forward with confidence, safeguard project economics, and accelerate clean energy deployment. Enphase is committed to supporting every segment of the market, including TPO, as it expands access to affordable, reliable home energy systems.”

Enphase expects additional financing providers to follow suit in the coming months, further expanding the pipeline of TPO safe harbor agreements under the new rules. Project developers should consult their own legal and tax advisors to confirm eligibility for available tax credits.
