Non-GAAP operating expenses were $66.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $68.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower marketing spend. Non-GAAP operating income was $114.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $97.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
We exited the first quarter of 2022 with $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and generated $102.4 million in cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2022.

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.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
On Feb. 28, 2022, Enphase Energy announced steady growth in its Enphase Installer Network (EIN) in Victoria, Australia due to market-leading partner support, state-run initiatives, and growing homeowner demand for safer, smarter, and more reliable solar systems.
On March 21, 2022, Enphase Energy announced that installers in Spain have seen an increase in deployments of residential solar energy systems, powered by IQ7+™ and IQ7A™ Microinverters. Residential solar deployments in Spain are growing exponentially as favorable regulatory developments and high electricity prices are motivating homeowners to make the switch to a more sustainable clean energy generation.
On March 28, 2022, Enphase Energy announced that Vermont-based utility Green Mountain Power (GMP) will offer Enphase® Energy Systems to its customers in a cutting-edge battery lease grid services pilot program. Homeowners can also enroll in GMP’s “Bring Your Own Device” grid services program, which enables customers with their own Enphase Energy Systems to participate and earn an up-front incentive.
On April 4, 2022, Enphase Energy announced it has expanded its nearly 15-year relationship with global diversified manufacturer Flex®. Starting in the first quarter of 2023, Flex’s factory in Timisoara, Romania will begin manufacturing Enphase microinverters for the European market, addressing the region’s rapid growth and demand for residential solar due to rising energy prices and the increased adoption of electric vehicles and heat pump technology.
On April 11, 2022, Enphase Energy announced the launch of its EIN in France. The EIN is a network of highly experienced installers that have a proven track-record of delivering exceptional homeowner experiences using Enphase products.
Enphase Energy recently announced that installers in South Carolina, Iowa, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Oregon, New Jersey, Ohio, and Utah have seen growing deployments of the Enphase Energy System powered by IQ® Microinverters and IQ Batteries.
