Enphase (ENPH) Unveils IQ8P in Thailand and the Philippines
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH - Free Report) recently commenced shipment of its new microinverter, IQ8P, with a peak output power of 480 watts (W), in Thailand and the Philippines’ solar markets. These microinverters will support residential and commercial applications.
Significance of IQ8 Microinverters
Enphase Energy’s most powerful microinverter to date, the IQ8P, is designed to use low-voltage alternating current (AC) power instead of high-voltage direct current (DC) power. The IQ8P can seamlessly pair with a full range of solar modules up to 640W DC.
For all IQ8P Microinverters activated in Thailand and the Philippines, a 15-year limited warranty is available.
ENPH’s Prospects in Asia’s Solar Market
Enphase Energy is steadily gaining momentum in Asia’s solar market. The company started shipping its IQ8 Microinverters in India in October 2023. It is also shipping the IQ8P Microinverters to the residential markets of Vietnam. The latest launch seems to be in line with the company’s plan to enter many more new countries in Asia throughout 2024 with its microinverters.
Such endeavors are likely to provide meaningful gains to the company in the days ahead, which can be further gauged by a recent projection by Statista. Per this report, Asia’s electricity generation in the solar energy market is estimated to witness a CAGR of 4.66% during 2024-2028.
In light of such projections, we expect Enphase Energy to continue with its expansion plans in Asia by launching its microinverters in more Asian nations in the days ahead, thereby potentially enhancing its revenue generation prospects in the region.
