Enphase Energy Stock Price, News & Analysis

Enphase Energy announced that its IQ8 Microinverters were selected for a 2.2 MW solar project at the Belgoprocess radioactive waste facility in Dessel, Belgium. The project, led by Earth, a leading installer based in Belgium, includes 4,000 IQ8HC Microinverters and will span four rooftops of the facility. There are plans to expand capacity from 2.2 MW to 6 to 8 MW in the coming years. Enphase's microinverters were chosen for their safer AC-based system architecture, cybersecurity, and superior reliability and performance.

The Belgoprocess facility manages radioactive waste from various sources, and the project is expected to be the largest Enphase project worldwide once completed in 2026. The use of Enphase microinverters allows for independent operation of each panel, enhancing system efficiency and safety by converting DC to AC at the source. This distributed architecture also provides sophisticated panel-level monitoring.

Enphase recently launched its IQ Battery 5P and IQ Energy Management Software in Belgium, further showcasing its commitment to innovation in energy technology.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has begun shipping its new IQ Battery 5P in India, following pre-orders announced in September 2024. The battery system starts at 5 kWh and is scalable up to 40 kWh, featuring 3.84 kW continuous power and 7.68 kW peak power. Built with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, it offers enhanced safety and reduced maintenance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.

The system includes the IQ System Controller for grid isolation during outages and is compatible with IQ8 Microinverters, featuring Sunlight Jump Start™ technology for solar-powered system restarts after extended outages. This launch addresses India's frequent power grid challenges, providing reliable backup power for households.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has begun shipping IQ8X™ and IQ8P-3P™ Commercial Microinverters from U.S. manufacturing facilities with increased domestic content, marked by 'DOM' suffix SKUs. This enhancement allows the microinverters to more easily qualify for the domestic content bonus tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act when combined with other U.S.-made solar equipment.

The microinverters have been added to the California Energy Commission's Solar Equipment Lists, meeting national safety and performance standards. The domestic content bonus tax credit is available to commercial asset owners, including businesses adding solar and PPA/lease providers owning residential solar projects.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has announced a collaboration with NextEnergy in the Netherlands, enabling customers with Enphase solar and battery systems to participate in the grid imbalance energy marketplace. The partnership integrates Enphase's recently launched IQ® Battery 5P and IQ® Energy Management software with NextEnergy's dynamic tariff program and virtual power plant (VPP).

According to Enphase research, Dutch homeowners using their solar plus battery systems while participating in dynamic energy contracts and the grid imbalance marketplace through VPPs could more than triple their lifetime earnings over 25 years compared to solar-only systems. NextEnergy offers dynamic residential energy contracts at lower prices than traditional suppliers, featuring automatic charging during off-peak hours and transparent pricing.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has announced a strategic collaboration with Frank Energie, a Dutch energy provider, to enable customers with Enphase solar and battery systems to participate in the Netherlands' grid imbalance energy marketplace. The partnership integrates with Enphase's recently launched IQ® Battery 5P and IQ® Energy Management software.

Through this collaboration, homeowners can participate in Frank Energie's dynamic tariff program and virtual power plants (VPPs), potentially more than tripling their lifetime earnings over 25 years compared to solar-only systems. The IQ Battery 5P offers configurations from 5 to 60 kWh, with continuous power of 3.84 kW per 5 kWh battery, optimized for dynamic electricity rates and imbalance markets.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has launched Busbar Power Control software, an enhancement to its Power Control™ software that enables homeowners to install larger solar and battery systems without requiring costly main electrical panel upgrades. The technology intelligently manages power from solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, grid, and home consumption while ensuring busbar safety. This innovation can help homeowners optimize savings from self-consuming solar and battery electricity, increase power exports to the grid, and maximize value under rate structures like NEM 3.0. In California, customers could save hundreds of dollars during peak electricity rate months and thousands by avoiding panel upgrades.

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) has announced the launch of its IQ PowerPack 1500, a 1,500 Wh portable energy system, available for pre-order in the US and Canada. The device features multiple charging options, including 75-minute charging via standard outlet and 4-hour solar charging. It can power up to 11 devices simultaneously through various ports and includes a 7" LCD touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity for remote management via the Enphase App. The system incorporates IQ8 Microinverters and meets UL safety standards. The product comes with a 5-year warranty and is expected to ship in December.

Enphase Energy has announced the initial shipments of IQ Battery 5Ps manufactured in the United States, eligible for the Domestic Content Bonus Credit under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This tax credit is available to commercial asset owners and PPA/lease providers who own residential solar and battery projects. The company has also begun shipping IQ8HC Microinverters from U.S. facilities with higher domestic content, marked with a 'DOM' suffix. Projects using these U.S.-made Enphase products, along with some additional U.S.-made solar racking equipment, could qualify for the tax credits.

Enphase Energy has announced a safe harbor agreement with IGS Solar to expand deployments of IQ8 Microinverters manufactured in the United States. The agreement enables IGS Solar-financed leases to qualify for the domestic content bonus tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act when using IQ8HC Microinverters with 'DOM' suffix SKUs. Leading solar installers including Venture Solar, Momentum Solar, and Ecohouse Solar will install these U.S.-made microinverters on IGS Solar owned projects. The safe harbor mechanism allows IGS Solar to freeze domestic content requirements year-over-year, providing installation partners time to develop domestic content equipment strategies while maintaining economics.
