The company says its global capacity for microinverters will remain at approximately 7.25 million units per quarter, of which approximately 5 million units of manufacturing capacity is in the USA.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are decreasing spending in every department by reducing headcount, non-people related expenditures, or both,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/enphase.com\/blog\/message-ceo-enphase-employees\">stated Mr Kothandaraman<\/a>.\u00a0 &#8220;These actions are not a reflection of poor employee performance, but we believe they are necessary in the current market environment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Kothandaraman said Enphase is committed to supporting employees losing their jobs with comprehensive severance packages including a minimum of 13 weeks of pay, extended healthcare benefits where applicable, and career transition resources.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump Presidency A Factor?<\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Kothandaraman <a href=\"https:\/\/enphase.com\/blog\/message-ceo-enphase-employees\">says no<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These decisions are grounded in the current economic landscape, not due to recent election outcomes,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;While the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has supported U.S.-based manufacturing, our primary focus remains on creating a resilient and self-sustaining business model that will drive our long-term success.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Donald Trump has previously pledged to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, which among other things provides advanced manufacturing production tax credits. This went into effect at the beginning of 2023 and was to run through to the end of 2032. While it would be difficult to ditch given the benefits, rules around the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit could be tightened.<\/p>\n<h2>Enphase Q3 2024 Performance<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of October, <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.enphase.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/enphase-energy-reports-financial-results-third-quarter-2024\">Enphase reported<\/a> revenue of USD $380.9 million for Q3 2024. This was a marked improvement compared to $303.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, but well down on Q3 2023&#8217;s $551 million.<\/p>\n<p>The firm shipped 172.9 megawatt-hours of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/enphase-energy-review.html\">Enphase IQ Batteries<\/a> in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 120.2 megawatt-hours in the second quarter. The company shipped approximately 1.7 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/enphase-review.html\">Enphase microinverters<\/a> in Q3 (approximately 730 megawatts DC) compared to 1.4 million units in Q2.<\/p>\n<p>Among Enphase business highlights for Q3 in terms of Australia, the company boosted the standard warranty here for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-australian-warranty-mb3021\/\"> IQ8 microinverters from 15 years to 25 years<\/a>. It also started shipping IQ8X microinverters for higher DC input voltage solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Enphase expects Q4 2024 revenue to be within a range of $360.0 million to $400.0 million (Q4 2023: $302.6 million), which includes shipments of 140 to 160 megawatt-hours of IQ Batteries. This would be well up on Q4 2023 (80.7 MWh), but down on Q3 this year.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first occasion Enphase has hit particularly trying times and Mr. Kothandaraman is widely credited for pulling the company out trouble some years ago. He joined Enphase in April 2017 as chief operating officer and in September 2017 was appointed president and CEO of the firm.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is Enphase the only well-known solar inverter manufacturer shedding staff or preparing to &#8211;
