Enphase Energy

Enphase Energy stock dropped about 5% after the Federal Reserve's first rate increase in three years raised borrowing costs that directly hit residential solar financing. First Solar and Sunrun also fell roughly 4% and the Invesco Solar ETF slid while the S&P 500 barely moved, signaling a sector-specific selloff. Analysts note Enphase's residential microinverter and battery business is most exposed to higher rates and advise caution until borrowing conditions clarify. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com

Enphase has rolled out an AI assistant in its mobile app that answers homeowners’ questions about solar generation, battery use, consumption and grid interactions. The tool uses system-specific app data, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation and verified knowledge sources, provides explanations and can, if needed, escalate to customer support. Changes to system settings or battery operating profiles require the user’s confirmation before being applied. The feature is available in most markets; availability depends on country, system type, installed products, app version and account permissions. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Enphase is introducing the IQ System Controller 3 and the IQ EV Charger 2 in Italy, allowing owners of IQ Battery 5P systems to integrate backup power functions and electric vehicle charging. The controller supports three-phase supply, secures loads up to 80 amps per phase and complies with CEI 0-21 requirements; installers can use an app to select which circuits are supplied during an outage. The IQ EV Charger 2 adapts charging to available solar production and begins charging when there is roughly 1.4 kW of solar surplus. Italy is also planning the state subsidy "Bonus Colonnine 2026", which could cover up to 80 percent of the costs. » Plus sur de.investing.com
