"As the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, we recognize our responsibility to promote sustainable practices and contribute to building a safe and equitable environment worldwide."
A letter from our President and CEO
I am pleased to share our 2025 Sustainability Report with you as we continue to make meaningful progress in expanding the availability of clean energy, strengthening our operations, and embedding sustainability across our global business. As the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, we recognize our role in acting responsibly and adopting practices that will help support long-term sustainability for all.
Since inception, more than 5.1 million Enphase-based systems have been deployed in over 160 countries, helping millions of people access clean, affordable, and reliable energy. Our products have enabled an estimated 137 terawatt hours of clean energy generation, preventing approximately 92 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions.1 These outcomes represent tangible progress toward a more resilient and decarbonized global energy system, while empowering homeowners, businesses, and communities worldwide.
We remain committed to reducing our own operational footprint. In 2025, we achieved a 23.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, compared to 2024, and reached an 84% clean energy mix across our global operations. These improvements reflect ongoing investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy sourcing, and responsible operations management as part of our broader climate strategy.
2025 was a challenging year of transition for Enphase and the solar industry as periods of market volatility were driven by macroeconomic conditions, policy shifts, and global uncertainty. Through it all, we continued to manage our business with rigor, demonstrating that financial discipline and sustainability reinforce one another. This approach enables Enphase to navigate market variability while continuing to create value for our stakeholders. Our culture playbook is a reminder of how we work together to achieve results.
We remain focused on technology and products that help improve quality of life while keeping true to our core purpose of sustainability. In 2025, we introduced several new products. Building on the global momentum of our IQ8™ Microinverter, we launched the IQ9N-3P™ Commercial Microinverter, our most advanced microinverter yet. This is our first microinverter powered by advanced gallium nitride (GaN) technology. The IQ9N-3P helps simplify design complexity, lower installation and balance of system costs, and improve system efficiency for 480 V commercial projects. We also started shipping our fourth-generation IQ Battery system, which includes the IQ® Battery 10C, IQ® Combiner 6C, and IQ® Meter Collar. The IQ Battery 10C is designed to be approximately 30% more energy-dense, occupy 62% less wall space, and reduce installation costs compared to previous models. Together, these components can help simplify backup installations, enhance reliability, and provide greater value to homeowners. In addition, we launched our IQ® EV Charger 2, our most advanced electric vehicle (EV) charger to date. IQ EV Charger 2 works with Enphase solar and battery systems or as a standalone charger.
"Our company embraces the opportunity to create a future of sustainable prosperity for all our stakeholders, by making it possible for people to become producers and participants in a clean energy future − when people and the planet need it most."
We have made significant investments in domestic manufacturing to offer products that qualify under domestic content provisions and comply with foreign entity of concern (FEOC) regulations, helping customers capture the full value of available clean energy tax incentives, helping improve overall project economics. By the end of 2025, we were shipping our IQ8HC™ Microinverters, IQ8P-3P™ Commercial Microinverters, IQ9N-3P Commercial Microinverters, IQ® Battery 5Ps, and IQ Battery 10Cs from our U.S.-based facilities. The ability to manufacture in the United States has strengthened our supply chain, created skilled jobs, and reinforced our long-term competitive position.
We reinforce resilience and trust across our supply chain as part of our long term sustainability strategy. Through enhanced risk management practices, increased supplier oversight, and clearly defined human rights expectations, we continue to raise standards across our value chain. These efforts help safeguard business continuity, promote ethical sourcing, and reinforce the long term strength of our global supplier relationships.
Safety, quality, and reliability remain foundational to Enphase's culture and product strategy. Our system architecture is designed with safety at the forefront, protecting homeowners, installers, and first responders. I am proud to report that we continue to maintain zero product recalls, a testament to our rigorous design, testing, and quality assurance processes.
While the clean energy industry continues to experience periods of market volatility, we believe Enphase's long term opportunity remains strong. Sustainability is not a separate initiative at Enphase - it is central to who we are, how we innovate, and how we grow.
Thank you for your interest in our sustainability efforts. We appreciate our employees, customers, partners, and stockholders for their continued trust and engagement as our accomplishments this past year would not have been possible without their collective support.

clean energy technologies.
As climate accounting standards and decarbonization frameworks continue to evolve, we seek to stay informed on leading methodologies and emerging best practices. We conduct ongoing reviews of relevant developments, such as changes to the GHG Protocol
In 2022, we established an economic emissions intensity target to guide our operational decarbonization roadmap and support Paris aligned outcomes. Using 2021 as our baseline, we aim to achieve a 30% reduction by 2030 in our market based Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions intensity, measured as MTCO₂e per $M revenue. We assess progress against this target at least annually through our GHG inventory process and disclose year over year performance trends in this report, including changes in emissions intensity and the operational measures driving those results.

Designing for circularity
We align our operations with circular design practices, including serviceability, repair pathways, and responsible recovery at end-of-life. These measures extend product life, preserve embedded materials, and reduce demand for incremental raw material inputs associated with replacement and disposal.
Maintain/Prolong
We design products to allow for in-situ repairs by exchanging components rather than replacing the entire product. These processes result in an improved customer experience by maintaining system uptime, while also preserving materials and reducing pollution that would otherwise result from recovery and disposal. The Quality team sets ambitious serviceability targets to ensure these benefits are realized. To-date, the serviceability program has resulted in over 1,140 metric tons of recovered material.
Waste management and pollution prevention
Our waste streams are handled responsibly by certified vendors who provide certificates of destruction outlining the percent composition, mass, and recycling method employed for each constituent material. When recycling batteries, our chosen vendor is certified to the Responsible Recycling (R2) standard, which prohibits incineration of any components as a secondary disposal solution. The program emphasizes the recovery of valuable metals and the recycling of remaining plastic and byproducts. As a result, both rare earth and environmentally-persistent components are reused as material inputs for new products where possible, reducing waste accumulation volumes and raw material needs. We do not export electronic waste to non-OECD countries for disposal.
Enphase's waste management program is designed not only to maximize diversion from landfill, but also to prevent environmental releases of hazardous constituents embedded in electronic equipment, batteries, and universal waste streams. All hazardous waste is handled in accordance with applicable regulations, and Enphase recorded no reportable spills, releases, or environmental enforcement actions related to waste handling or hazardous substances in 2025.

Lastly, we make a conscious effort to ensure responsible resource consumption across our facilities. Water conservation is encouraged, and we have installed auto stop taps to reduce waste. Facilities are equipped with reusable and compostable materials; single-use items are eliminated; and employees are provided with reusable dishware, utensils, and mugs. Ink cartridges, organics, plastic, glass, cardboard, fluorescent bulbs, and metal scraps are recycled as a standard practice among our facilities.
We thoroughly evaluate equipment that comes back to us through the Enphase Upgrade Program or otherwise from the field failures or Returned Merchandise Authorizations. If deemed fully functional, these products are repackaged and used for product trainings and demonstrations to installers and distributors, employees, or other interested audiences, extending their useful lifespan.
Recycle
We meticulously recycle our electronic waste (e-waste), hazardous waste, and universal waste across our global operations. Sources of recycled material include scrap generated through product R&D, manufacturing and testing; office computers and peripherals; and equipment that could not be managed through the circularity methods discussed above.

Managing harmful chemicals
Chemical safety is embedded into our global product governance framework through a formal evaluation and planning process that applies to all newly developed and materially modified products. Our approach aligns with applicable global regulations and emerging regulatory trends. All of our products are compliant to the following standards:
Eco-friendly packaging
Enphase products are packaged to specifications designed to minimize environmental impact while ensuring product protection and transportation efficiency. Packaging materials are selected with an emphasis on recyclability, and environmental performance is continually improved through design and logistics optimization. Our approach prioritizes reducing the number of packaging components and material types, increasing the use of paper based and widely recyclable materials, and optimizing pallet configurations to improve shipping efficiency.

architecture
Enphase Energy Systems are inherently more safe than others present in the market due to their AC system architecture. By converting high-voltage, direct current from individual solar panels to low-voltage AC, microinverters virtually eliminate arc fault and corresponding thermal risk in solar installations. The benefit is magnified when storage is added, as our IQ Batteries use a stable, safe lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and are AC-coupled, meaning they charge and discharge using alternating current.

Qualification, onboarding and training
Supplier labor and human rights expectations are communicated prior to onboarding through the Supplier Code of Conduct and are contractually binding as a condition of engagement. Supplier performance is a factor in qualification, business allocation, and contract renewal decisions. Where non conformance is identified, we require corrective action within defined timeframes and may escalate responses, up to and including disengagement, if issues are not remediated.
Supplier audits and assessments
We conduct compliance audits across our supply chain, up to the third tier, with audit depth and frequency scaled based on geography, product type, and specific risk indicators. In 2025, 1,023 suppliers were assessed through internally conducted risk audits, supported by a third party software platform to enhance consistency, documentation, and traceability.
Corrective actions and remediation
When audits or assessments identify non compliance with labor or human rights expectations, we issue a corrective action plan that defines remediation requirements, ownership, and target completion dates. Corrective actions are tracked through closure, and recurring issues are analyzed to identify systemic improvement opportunities. Additional supply chain due diligence measures, including multi tier mapping and supplier questionnaires, are disclosed in our Modern Slavery Statement.
