Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Enphase Energy provides a detailed picture of the climate-policy files it works on, explicitly naming the United States Inflation Reduction Act, the Investment Tax Credit, the Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit and a production tax credit for solar-inverter manufacturing, as well as state-level initiatives on behind-the-meter solar, batteries and demand-response programmes. It explains how it pursues these goals, describing direct engagement with federal and state policymakers on the IRA, participation in working groups and formal submissions to Standards Australia and other Australian market bodies, and influence channelled through trade associations such as the Solar Energy Industries Association and SolarPower Europe, noting that “We publicly promoted their current position.” While the company generally refers to “policymakers” rather than naming specific agencies or legislators, it still discloses multiple concrete mechanisms—board membership, committee work, direct meetings and formal submissions—and identifies the jurisdictions it targets (U.S. federal government and the states of Illinois, Washington, Arizona and California). The desired outcomes are also clearly set out: Enphase backs extending the ITC so homeowners can deduct 30 % of residential solar costs until 2032, supports the AMPTC for clean-energy components, and advocates tax incentives for domestic inverter production, stating, “We believe the enactment of the IRA is favorable to our overall business worldwide,” and highlighting that “Under the IRA, the ITC was extended until 2032 to allow a qualifying homeowner to deduct 30% of the cost of installing residential solar systems from their U.S. federal income taxes.” This combination of specific policies, mechanisms and articulated end goals demonstrates a strong level of transparency in the company’s climate-related lobbying disclosures, although identifying the exact governmental targets would make the picture still clearer.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Enphase Energy reports that “our ESG efforts are overseen by our General Counsel, with participation from an executive leadership team, along with board-level oversight led by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,” and that “cross-functional supporting working groups manage and operationalize the ESG program across the company,” but the company does not disclose any process, policy, or oversight structure governing its lobbying activities, whether direct or indirect. We found no evidence of a policy to align lobbying with its climate or other policy commitments, no description of how lobbying positions are reviewed or approved, nor a named individual or committee responsible for lobbying governance. This absence of any mention of lobbying oversight suggests no transparency on how Enphase Energy manages its political advocacy efforts.	0
