Enphase Energy is a Petaluma, California home-energy technology manufacturer and the dominant supplier of solar microinverters in the United States, shipping IQ Microinverters, IQ Batteries, IQ EV Chargers and the Envoy/IQ Gateway that ties them together through the Enlighten cloud. It sits on the DER side of the energy value chain rather than the utility side: it does not own meters, sell electricity, or operate a grid, so no consumer energy data mandate reaches it — there is no Green Button, ESPI or NAESB implementation anywhere in its developer surface, and the United States has no compulsory retail energy data right to designate it under. Its API posture is nevertheless unusually open for this sector. The Enphase Developer Portal at developer-v4.enphase.com is a genuine self-serve 3scale portal where anyone can register, create an application and subscribe to a free Watt plan, and it publishes three complete, anonymously downloadable machine-readable contracts covering 124 paths and 148 operations. The split that defines Enphase is consumer-data-open, market-data-closed: a third-party developer can retrieve an individual homeowner's site production, consumption, battery and EV charger telemetry through documented OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flows with the system owner's explicit approval, but Enphase publishes no open grid, wholesale market or system-wide generation data of any kind. Access is tiered — self-serve for monitoring, application-approval for installer commissioning (10+ installations required), and partner-only for the Virtual Power Plant API, which is the one place a real standard appears: OCPP 1.6 for EV charger control against third-party CSMS platforms.
