What Enphase Energy does

Maker of microinverter-based solar and battery storage systems for homes, sold through installers worldwide.

Sells through distributors to installers, who choose the inverter and bundle it into a home system, so installer loyalty and distributor stock levels drive sales. Each solar panel gets its own small inverter instead of one shared unit, and batteries and software extend that ecosystem. Demand follows household subsidies and financing rates, with the US and Europe as the main markets.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
