Unlike a conventional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/\">solar inverter<\/a> that is connected to multiple (a string or strings of) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/\">solar panels<\/a>, a microinverter is a small device used with each solar panel that performs the same function, with some added features. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/micro\/\">learn more about microinverters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For the first quarter of this year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.enphase.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/enphase-energy-reports-financial-results-first-quarter-2024\">company reported<\/a> revenue of USD $263.3 million, a decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 ($302.57 million). Enphase says this was the result of seasonality and a further softening in U.S. demand, while the firm pursued reducing shipments to manage channel inventory.<\/p>\n<p>Enphase shipped approximately 1.4 million microinverters and 75.5 megawatt- hours of batteries in the first quarter.\u00a0 The firm has shipped more than 73 million microinverters in total over the years and says approximately 4 million Enphase based systems have been deployed in more than 150 countries, including Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Q1 shipments are just a fraction of what Enphase has set its sights on once manufacturing is fully realigned &#8211; 7.25 million microinverters per quarter, of which 5 million will be manufactured in the US. Previously the company reportedly had capacity for around 10 million units per quarter, but in December last year Enphase announced it was cutting expenses by consolidating facilities across its worldwide sites.<\/p>\n<p>In the earnings call, Enphase President and CEO Badri Kothandaraman said the company expects to add battery manufacturing capability in the US during the third quarter of 2024. Mr. Kothandaraman says Enphase expects to ship 100- to 120-megawatt- hours of IQ batteries globally in the second quarter, and plans to pilot its fourth-generation battery later in the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Enphase In Australia<\/h2>\n<p>Commenting specifically on the Australian market, Mr. Kothandaraman noted Enphase Energy Systems being shipped here are powered by IQ8 microinverters and the IQ Battery 5P, which the company introduced in the middle of last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We expect higher battery attachment rates in Australia during the second half of this year,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The IQ Battery 5P is an AC-coupled energy storage system with a total usable capacity of 5.0 kWh and includes six embedded IQ8D-BAT microinverters. More specs and Australian pricing on the IQ Battery 5P can be found on SQ&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">solar battery comparison table<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As for the IQ8, it was a *very* long time coming for Australia. Originally unveiled in in October 2021 and available to the US market by December that year, it wasn&#8217;t until July 2023 the company began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-australia\/\">IQ8 microinverter shipments to Australia<\/a>. Currently available locally as individual units are the IQ8AC and IQ8HC, which have a peak output power of 366 W and 384 W respectively, and can be used with solar modules up to 480W and 505W capacity. I noticed the IQ7 series is also still available in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s microinverter products have been a solid performer in Australia over the years. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/enphase-review.html\">Enphase microinverter reviews<\/a> here on SQ from Australian customers have averaged 4.8 stars overall and 4.9 stars in the last 12 months. Australian installers seem to like working with them too, with Enphase taking silver in the SolarQuotes Installers Choice Awards for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-solar-inverters-2024\/\">the best inverters in 2024<\/a>. It also achieved bronze in the best inverter support category this year.<\/p>\n<p>While the brand has a loyal following here in Australia, like any firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-pros-cons\/\">Enphase has its challenges<\/a>; and Mr. Kothandaraman said the company is fully focused on solving installer pain points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CEO of microinverter and energy storage firm Enphase believes the company is beginning to climb out of &#8220;the bottom&#8221;, and should get back to growth shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":83146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Enphase Has High Hopes For Turnaround<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The CEO of microinverter and energy storage firm Enphase believes the company is beginning to climb out of &quot;the bottom&quot;.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Enphase Has High Hopes For Turnaround\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The CEO of microinverter and energy storage firm Enphase believes the company is beginning to climb out of &quot;the bottom&quot;.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-04-24T20:40:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-06T03:20:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/enphase-microinverter-battery.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Enphase Has High Hopes For Turnaround\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-04-24T20:40:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-06T03:20:35+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/\"},\"wordCount\":590,\"commentCount\":11,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-iq8-5p-mb2906\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/enphase-microinverter-battery.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
