Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH)

The price of both companies have been on a down trend for almost two years due to the weakening demand for household solar energy.

The stock price for ENPH and SEDG have probably hit the bottom. However, as today's economic environment, further price depreciation is possible if recession really hits.


Investing in equal weight for both companies is due to following reasons. Enphase's products is slightly better than SolarEdge because products from Enphase are more integrated and streamlined with less possible multiple times of converting between DC and AC. Also, Enphase has a better market position in the United States than SolarEdge whose focus is on Europe. However, SolarEdge's depressed price give a better chance of price appreciation. 


Attention should be paid on the business progresses for both companies, especially the solar demand in Europe whose demand for solar energy is weaker than the United States. Both CEOs were very caution in their language of answering questions from analysts. Positive free cash flow is one of important elements to watch in their reports in future quarters, particularly SolarEdge.

Enphase Energy designs, markets and distributes microinverters and solar batteries and provides services with those products. Enphase's microinverter is different from SolarEdge's string inverter. Microinverters are directly attached to solar panel and convert electricity to alternative current (AC).


The advantage of microinverter is that one solar panel will convert its direct current (DC) to AC individually without effecting other panels' electricity generation if this panel's performance of generating electricity is compromised. Comparing the SolarEdge's, it will require both optimizers and inverters to accomplish the same task.


Currently, products from both Enphase and SolarEdge are the dominants in US market. Both their products have advantages over the other. SolarEdge's developments are more likely suitable for the larger scale of solar producers such as industry and utility.
