Enphase Expands Battery Outreach in Netherlands Ahead of Net Metering Change
Enphase Energy is increasing its efforts to promote battery storage solutions among Dutch homeowners ahead of the country's net metering policy ending on January 1, 2027. Under this change, households will no longer be able to offset exported solar electricity against grid purchases but will still receive compensation for exports. This shift could boost demand for Enphase’s IQ Battery as self-consumption becomes more valuable. Enphase has nearly half a million existing Dutch customers who may add storage without needing new installations. The company reported a 102% sequential increase in battery activations during the second quarter, driven by export penalties and policy uncertainty. It plans over 300 homeowner events this year to educate on benefits of adding batteries. However, solar-only economics are expected to weaken as financial returns diminish without storage. Enphase has not yet disclosed conversion rates from outreach efforts or specific revenue impacts.
