Shipments of IQ8™ Microinverters continued to ramp strongly in the first quarter of 2022. IQ8 Microinverters can form a microgrid during a power outage using only sunlight, providing backup power even without a battery. IQ8’s grid-forming technology eliminates traditional ratio requirements between solar system size and battery size. And, with our Sunlight Jump Start™ feature, IQ8 Microinverters can restart a home energy system using sunlight only after prolonged grid outages that may result in a fully depleted battery.
Shipments of IQ™ Batteries increased to 120.4 megawatt hours in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 100.2 megawatt hours in the fourth quarter of 2021. We shipped batteries to the U.S., Germany, and Belgium during the first quarter, and continued to make several updates to improve the installer and homeowner experience. We now have more than 1,300 installers in the U.S. that are certified to install our batteries.
In March of 2022, we acquired SolarLeadFactory LLC, which provides high-quality leads to solar installers in the U.S. Our objective is to substantially increase lead volumes and improve conversion rates to drive down the customer acquisition costs for our installers. This was our fourth acquisition to strengthen the installer platform, with the prior acquisitions focused on solar design and proposal software, permitting services, and operations and maintenance (O&M) software. We aim to create an end-to-end installer platform to simplify installers’ lives by reducing soft costs and manual processes.
