- As you mentioned, revenues in Europe were down significantly this quarter, with a 34% decrease in sell-through compared to Q2 . Given the challenging business environment and declining power prices, what specific strategies are you implementing to reverse this trend and when do you expect to see improvement in this region?
- With the anticipated launch of the IQ9 microinverters delayed to the second half of 2025 , how are you addressing the risk of losing market share to competitors in the interim, especially considering the demand for higher power solutions in both residential and commercial markets?
- You've indicated that the bankruptcy of a large U.S. customer will impact your Q4 revenue . Can you elaborate on the extent of your exposure to this customer and what measures you're taking to mitigate risks associated with customer concentration moving forward?
- In previous years, Enphase focused on cost reduction and passing savings to customers, but recently there seems to be less emphasis on cost-cutting in microinverters . With the upcoming IQ9 potentially reducing costs, how do you plan to balance cost savings and pricing strategy to regain competitive advantage, and why hasn't there been more progress in cost reduction recently?
- Given concerns about potential changes to the 30% residential tax credit under the IRA and its importance to the U.S. market , how are you preparing for possible policy shifts that could negatively impact demand, and what is your strategy to diversify market dependence away from such incentives?

Recent press releases and 8-K filings for ENPH.
- Enphase Energy introduced its 4th-generation Enphase Energy System, featuring the IQ Battery 10C, IQ Meter Collar, and IQ Combiner 6C for a smaller footprint, faster installation, and enhanced reliability.
- The IQ Battery 10C offers 10 kWh usable energy and 7.08 kW continuous power, with nearly 34 % greater energy density and 62 % less wall space versus the prior model, using LFP chemistry for safety and longevity.
- The IQ Meter Collar adds built-in MID functionality to simplify whole-home backup—eliminating extra CTs and sub-panel relocation—and is already authorized by multiple utilities.
- The IQ Combiner 6C consolidates interconnection equipment into one enclosure, integrating breaker spaces for solar, battery, EV charging, and load control with pre-installed CTs to reduce complexity and wall space.
- Shipments began in June 2025, with U.S. domestic manufacturing of the IQ Battery 10C starting in Q3 2025, and the system is backed by a 15-year limited warranty and may qualify for the Domestic Content Bonus Credit.
- Enphase Energy launched initial shipments of the IQ Battery 5P from U.S. facilities, meeting the new 45% U.S.-sourced materials requirement effective June 16, 2025.
- The domestic content threshold for eligibility in key federal tax incentives rises to 50% in 2026 and 55% in 2027, and the IQ Battery 5P is built to comply with these future standards.
- The modular 5 kWh IQ Battery 5P integrates with IQ8 microinverters and is monitored via the Enphase App to optimize self-consumption and grid independence.
- Enphase and installer partners highlight that higher domestic content supports U.S. manufacturing, strengthens the supply chain, and preserves access to federal incentives.
- Senate Republicans propose amendments to extend the residential 30% solar tax credit and delay its phase-out until 180 days after enactment, easing the abrupt cut envisioned in the House bill.
