8月19日，Enphase Energy宣布与另一家领先的光伏和电池融资公司达成新的安全港协议，后者为房主 提供TPO协议，包括租赁和电力购买协议(PPA)。这是自 2025 年 7 月美国新联邦预算法案签署成为法律 以来达成的第二份协议。该协议于 8 月初签署，预计将为 Enphase 带来约 5000 万美元的收入，并突显 了该公司在 TPO 领域的强劲参与度——这是美国住宅光伏和电池业务的关键增长渠道。 智通财经APP获悉，杰富瑞周四将 Enphase Energy(ENPH.US)的评级从"跑输大盘"上调至"持有"，目标 价定为 36 美元，理由是预计短期内营收将好于预期，但同时也承认对住宅光伏未来几年的状况仍存担 忧。 美国财政部近期发布的指导意见对住宅光伏产业有利，然而，Enphase的股价仅上涨了约 10%，杰富瑞 分析师Julien Dumoulin-Smith认为市场对安全港条款支出的价值存在脱节，他表示，鉴于投资税收抵免 政策有望延续至 2030 年，这种脱节的情况很有可能出现。 Dumoulin-Smith在 2024 年 11 月下调了 Enphase的评级，但现在他认为鉴于投资税收抵 ...
