Badri Kothandaraman, the newly crowned president and CEO of California-based micro-inverter specialist Enphase Energy, said, “The date is coming. I’d be lying if I said we weren’t concerned.” However, regardless of the ITC decision, Kothandaraman said Enphase will “still focus on what we do and continue growing.”

He added, “U.S. solar penetration is increasing – that tells you the opportunity is there. We can bring solar to the masses.”

Had a buy order in for a lower price but don't think I will see it drop that far again. Will look to add a few thousand as well. Hopefully it performs better in the next quarter than a NC State vs. Fla State matchup.

SO MANY of your facts are either backwards or simply flat out wrong it's not worth the effort. Check you facts and come back with supporting info or I'll simply ignore what you have to post.

ENPH

Solar investment. Speculative. Turnaround.

This is a turnaround issue. I have followed this company for close to 2 years and would like to share some information as well as get some feedback. Company is involved in what is known as "module-level power electronics" a technology subset within the solar panel manufacturing field. Panels require inverters to convert DC energy into usable AC energy. There are 3 basic ways of doing this: through string inverters, power optimizers or microinverters. Enphase specialized in this last area and has as its main competitor a company that has specialized in power optimizers (sedg).

Recently, with the introduction of a new class of microinverters, enphase has been able to integrate their technology into the manufacturing process of solar panels. These new panels are called ACM (AC modules) where the microinverter is now attached to the panel and the need for assembling it by solar roof installers may -and eventually will- disappear.

In the last year or so, previous management made some bad decisions: went into unproductive product lines, signed bad loan deals and wasted precious resources in non-conducive activities. On January this year, TJ Rodgers and John Doerr bought a chunk of the company (close to 10% combined) and TJ R was named a Director. After an abysmal first quarter, where California market tanked greatly affecting enphase's numbers, a new COO was named to take charge of operations: Badri Kothandaraman.

Both TJ R and Badri are CYpress semiconductors guys. In fact, TJ R was one of the founders. This is important because it was TJ R who discovered the novel technology of Sunpower and invested his own money when the company was failing as a start up. We all know what happened to Sunpower years later. In that specific case, TJ R also brought into Sunpower the management style of Cypress and covered many top, essential positions with CY management.

In ENPHs most recent quarter its 10 year old CEO got ousted. While there is a transition going on and we are waiting for the announcement of a new CEO by 8/31, rumor has been that Badri K, former CY's executive now performing as COO, might become the permanent CEO. This would further solidify TJ R's move into turning the company around.

As for numbers, last Q was the 1Q company did not burn cash with 31 mill in their coffers, as a result of cleaning up inventory. By the end of this Q, company would have transitioned completely to the higher margin microinverter named IQ6. Company has also signed deals with LG and Jinko Solar both of which will now carry ACMs with integrated micros. LG's ACM panels are already being offered in the market and it is expected that this coming quarter will bring color into ACMs sales. Jinko is not expected to offer integrated modules until later this year.

Enphase has been rapidly correcting past management mistakes and imposing a new style and discipline, evident in last Q numbers. COO has released a working plan on a path to profitability and growth. Company has guided flat sales for 3Q most likely due to transition issues although they officialy mentioned components issues.

There are risks and obstacles in the road to success. Micros are a different technology than the one offered by optimizers. There is a large public discussion on which technology offers the best advantage or if both could move forward and subsist together. Enphase, in particular, has a noose around its neck in a credit line by Tennenbaum (50 million) with covenants that may hit the company hard in 2018 so while bankruptcy doesn't appear to be in the cards anymore, dilution might. Next quarter's guidance is critical in that it will show a new CEOs work, the chance of hitting all stated benchmarks and the potential and acceptance by the market of the ACM's.

Yet, the most important piece of information in this analysis is not to disregard the direct involvement of TJ Rodgers, his philosophy of fighting for shareholders and what he did with Sunpower.

Overall, solar seems to be on the up and up and most public companies in this segment have been posting much better numbers as of late. Solar has already achieved parity in some parts of the world becoming as cheap as wind energy.

Dude go climb another tree. Your amateurish posts won't sway anyone. The numbers speak for themselves and the numbers not only show ENPH technology is not only superior, save a lot of man hours during installations, have integrated their tech into AC modules for a one stop shop/installs, but ALREADY have a superior battery solution available on the market. You can talk about financials and color them any way you want but the facts are SEDG is losing what market share they gained by being backed by TSLA and installers prefer ENPH products and have been gaining what market share they lost. I wouldn't worry about ENPH financials I would worry about SEDG instead. Your $28 share price will be reduced by a third by this time next year. But you keep sticking your head in the sand.

You've seen this post? You realize SEDG lost their injunction against ENPH because the judge agreed that ENPH was a superior product and way faster to install cutting down times and monies for downstream vendors. Good luck with your nail because it might be placed from inside SEDG's coffin.

Good opportunity to average down and increase our holding. Liked the report and the CC and look forward to an exciting Q3. Good trade btw...

Wrong again...time to buy as this dips into quarterly session lows. Better action for sure this quarter and am bullish on how this will play through the next several months.

Hope for increase in value!

How many?
