Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced an expanded homeowner outreach effort in the Netherlands, targeting solar-only customers ahead of the country's planned end to net metering on Jan. 1, 2027.

The company said it expects to host more than 300 in-person events and online webinars in 2026, with over 100 already completed, generating thousands of leads. Enphase is also onboarding hundreds of installers into its lead-referral program.

When net metering ends, existing Dutch solar-only systems will not be grandfathered in, meaning homeowners will receive less compensation for solar energy exported to the grid. Enphase is promoting its IQ Battery as a way for homeowners to store and self-consume more of their solar generation rather than export it at a reduced rate.

As part of the initiative, Enphase is partnering with Prets.io, a Dutch fintech platform, to connect prospective customers with financing options, including Warmtefonds, a government-backed loan program for sustainable energy investments in the Netherlands. Prets.io will guide homeowners through the financing application process without requiring installer involvement.

"Nearly half a million Dutch homeowners have trusted Enphase with their solar systems, and we have a responsibility to help them protect that investment," said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy.

"Warmtefonds is an attractive financing option available for Dutch homeowners making sustainable energy investments, but the application process is not always straightforward at the moment of purchase," said Eugene Lubbers, CEO and co-founder of Prets.io. "With the Prets.io platform, homeowners can now access the financing application process soon after the Enphase event, when they are already inclined to move forward."

Availability and terms of any financing are determined by Warmtefonds and applicable financing providers. The information is based on a press release issued by Enphase Energy.
