How is ENPH different than other solar companies? They do it their own way and has been avoiding the solar trend for years.

Here is what I know...

First off, one must know that these solar panels produce electricity and inverters convert that from AC to DC to power our homes.
While most solar companies use string inverters, Enphase uses micro inverters. What's the difference? Basically, a string inverter is a single device that supports all the solar panels as one entity. The problem is if a panel goes down they all go down, or if a single panel is in shade they all suffer. The single string inverter is usually visible and runs loud.
Enphase uses micro inverters that is attached to the back of each panel. If one panel is in the shade it doesn't effect the others. Each panel is independent of others, so if one panel stops working the others will still deliver power. Unlike single string inverters, solar panels using micro inverters can be placed in any direction, any angle, out of sight, and runs quietly.

The cheaper route is still the single string inverter, but the better product imo are solar panels using micro inverters. Thus far, the reviews have been outstanding. Many saying very reliable, well designed, and easy to use app. The app itself is pretty insane. On your iPhone, u can view just how much power is being generated by each panel, what times of the days are using the most power, how much energy is being stored, etc etc. Much like filters on a Poker Journal app.

This along w battery storage is pretty much Enphase niche. In a way, I feel they are a very poor man's TSLA in terms of battery storage and solar.

Pros:
•TJ Rodgers on the board. A great mind and reputable entrepreneur.
•Ahead of the curve (market just hasn't caught up).
•smart money invested
•great warranty plans which firmly proves their belief in their products.
•easy to use app to monitor the system

Cons:
•many quarterly losses
•down to $20mil and may need to raise capital AGAIN.
•yet to be profitable
•looking for a new CEO which in turn cd b a positive.
•currently getting sued by SolarEdge

I been following this company for over a year, it just seems like now is the time for the big turnaround. I respect how they do things a bit differently and think outside the box. I'm staying positive that this company will be turning a profit within 6 months. Solar and battery storage is the future.

A short clip that may explain more:

are the micro inverters patented?

Sometimes MACRO timing can be the undoing of companies with great ideas.
I like your thesis but it's just super risky timing for companies like this when we're already so far along in an Economic cycle (harder to get key funding when belts start tightening).

Are they / their intellectual property a potential buyout opportunity by the bigger solar / energy companies in the space? If so, what are your projections for stock price in such scenarios?

Great question. Yes and yes.
I wd hv trouble speculating on stock price if bought out. I hv no clue.

I'm not trying to sell my beliefs to anyone here. Please please please dont let me mess w UR money. I don't want that! I'm a Wallstreet newbie that is just putting my money where my thoughts are. I'm not scared to fail.

I wish you luck and I'll be following stock hoping you bink big! Go big or go home. Love that your putting it all down.

I think the plan is 3 parters for Sept, Oct, Nov. If we still short of $40k going into Dec; then 4 parters in Dec.

Here is a link about delisting in general. The share price under $1 is a red flag.

https://www.fool.com/knowledge-cente...he-nasdaq.aspx

I believe the ticker would be moved to OTC market/pink sheets and might be listed under ENPHQ. Usually the stock exchange makes the announcement and suspends trading of the ticker. The shareholders are stuck until it opens on the OTC and usually the stock price drops 20%+ since many shareholders are trying to sell and get out. Also, be careful with Robinhood, I'm not sure if they get access to OTC stocks as quickly as regular brokers.

Rayz, why not wait for the company to show a profitable quarter before going all-in? Do you have a stop sell limit?

Rayz please think about your kids here. This is nuts.

Stop sell limits can be the death of you in low liquidity holdings (not sure on the liquiidity of this ticker). Market makers are great at ramming tickers through them..triggering...then bouncing back up. MUCH better off just having a mental stop and paying close attention. Besides, to have the confidence to put 100k$ down on one stock means he should want MORE of it if its price declines (cheaper now).

This is me. Gd read

They always come first. Everyone gd here.

You need money to buy more. I thought he was all in.

I place small orders above and below so I receive notice of material moves.

Rayz- again thanks for documenting your journey here. As the 40k challenge is about 75% competed in terms of where we are on the calendar, what's next?
/thread and on to the next chapter? Or do you plan on keeping #fulltransparency alive?

Ur right. I hv no more money to spend.

Gotta about little over 7k in checking acct after just paying for bills, groceries, and another secret #pvg item (will b in next vlog).

I hv to maintain a 5k checking balance to stay in the premier acct at PNC. Otherwise, I hv to pay for rental on safety dep box, checks, and no waive fees at other ATMs. I can prob spare a little, but not likely. I am trying to get through this year w that $ before cashing in my chips.

Btw, it's just me and Knox here at the hizzle, so feel free to fire away today. The ladies went to Patoka Lake w Sara's parents (a yearly tradition).
Me and Knox just gonna kick it around the house and work on some songs for our next lp.

Is Knox going to play drums on the next LP?

Gd question as I been thinking the same myself. A definite cut back is in order, but no plans.

A lot has to do w ENPH performance, but some thoughts for now are:

•Not sure if I'll let All-In stock ride through 2018 or cash out.
•more poker trips to other places. Maybe some 2 day getaways.
•wd like to try to get better at golf.
•take lots of shots if I can afford them.
•the fam been thinking about staying in Vegas for a month in summer.
•continue UTube maybe in a different fashion.
•no poker challenges for 2018
•serve my Lord more.
•Maybe drive around w sack lunches to hand out or something.
•maybe get married, maybe not.

^ just some ideas.

After a quick diaper change he back on the mic.

I'll b there on that 26 k hunt

If we see the .78 -.79ish level hold as a short-term floor for ENPH I might fire a small bullet (liking the set-up).

I was foolishly thinking the same thing.
