Shares of Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) rose more than 9% after the global energy technology company opened U.S. pre-orders for its commercial microinverter, its most powerful unit to date. 

The company said that its commercial microinverter, IQ9S-3P, delivers 548 Volts-Ampere of continuous output power, supports high-wattage solar panels up to 770 Watts, and connects directly to three-phase 480Y/277 V (wye) grid configurations without requiring external transformers.

Industry Validates ENPH Commercial Microinverter

Michael Pitcavage, Chief Executive Officer at Endless Energy, a commercial solar installation company that is associated with Enphase Energy, stated that IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters are a game-changer for the company’s commercial business. 

“The higher power output lets us pair them with the latest 700+ watt panels and get more energy out of every project, which directly improves the economics for our customers,” he said. 

"The addition of GaN technology and 548 VA output opens up segments we couldn't reach before,” said Chad Waits, president of Net Zero Solar.

Enphase noted that IQ9S-3P units manufactured in U.S. facilities with domestic content are designed to be Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC)- compliant and may help eligible projects qualify for domestic-content bonus tax credits. The products also comply with Buy America Act standards for federal direct procurement contracts.

Tariff Truce Adding Fuel To The ENPH Rally?

On May 12, the U.S. and China announced a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs, cutting the rate on Chinese imports from 145% down to 30%.

For Enphase, the company sources the majority of its battery cells from China, and those tariffs had already eaten 4.3 percentage points off gross margins in the first quarter of 2026. 

During an earnings call, the company stated that it expects the tariff rollback to add approximately 2 percentage points to second-quarter gross margins.
