Enphase Energy Stock Gains On Acquiring Over 2,500 SunPower Customers With Its Monitoring Services: Retail Remains Bearish

Earlier, analysts at RBC Capital noted that while Enphase has a strong opportunity to return to growth eventually, in the near term, the company continues to cede market share amid softening demand.

Shares of Enphase Energy Inc. (ENPH) gained nearly 0.6% in Tuesday’s regular trading session after the company announced that it has begun attracting customers from bankrupt rival SunPower.

Enphase revealed that over 2,500 customers of SunPower had switched over to its monitoring services.

This follows SunPower’s bankruptcy proceedings, which had begun in August.

Currently, several hundred thousand customers use the company’s proprietary photovoltaic Supervisor gateway for monitoring purposes, and many of these systems use microconverters from Enphase.

Enphase is currently offering services like system monitoring, service plans, and full system upgrades.
