Enphase Energy has revealed plans to cut 17% of its global workforce, affecting about 500 employees and contractors in total, as part of a major restructuring effort.
The company said in a statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it aims to align its operations and workforce with current business needs, focusing on cost reduction and streamlining manufacturing to four locations by mid-2025.
The company said it will streamline its operations by consolidating manufacturing at four locations and stopping contract manufacturing in Guadalajara, Mexico.

November’s Africa-focused edition of pv magazine looks at the prospects of ‘Made in Africa’ solar panels and novel approaches to involve PV companies in funding grid infrastructure and to make buying domestic solar electricity as simple as getting the groceries. Elsewhere, we consider intercontinental interconnectors and India’s nascent green hydrogen industry.
Despite these cuts, Enphase Energy noted that it plans to maintain its global microinverter production capacity at 7.25 million units per quarter.
The company said it expects to incur $17 million to $20 million in restructuring and asset impairment charges, with most of the costs to hit in the fourth quarter of 2024. It said it also aims to reduce its non-GAAP operating expenses to $75 million to $80 million per quarter by 2025.
In addition to workforce reductions, Enphase Energy said it is introducing a number of cost-saving measures, including automation in customer service, marketing efficiency through AI, and the streamlining of non-essential expenses.
