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.
