Paul Nahi, CEO, led the festivities. Here are the key takeaways:
- Net revenues increased to $42.6 million from $18.1 million year-over-year. Revenues were down from the previous quarter, but Nahi observed that first quarters are typically soft quarters.
- Gross margin increased to 21.8 percent from 14.7 percent year-over-year.
- Units sold in Q1 of 2012 increased to 292,000, compared to 123,000 in the first quarter of 2011.
- The company has over 42,000 installations to date.
- Enphase has a nearly 30 percent market share in residential solar and 19 percent market share in small commercial in California, according to the CEO.
