Residential Solar Faces Severe Margin Compression on Weak Distributed Demand
Question
Residential Solar Faces Severe Margin Compression on Weak Distributed Demand
Direct answer
Clean energy hardware equities continue to lag broader industrial indices. Enphase Energy fell 4.02%, bringing one-month losses near 10% ahead of an expected 47.78% YoY collapse in quarterly EPS. The sharp decline reflects persistent channel inventory headwinds in residential rooftop solar inverters, compounded by elevated consumer financing rates. Materials supplier Albemarle dropped 2.73% to $98.51, extending its monthly drawdown to 13.83%. — bearish pressure on ENPH.
