Case Study: Enphase achieves resilient semiconductor sourcing with Z2Data

Enphase stabilizes semiconductor sourcing and prepares for 50% China tariffs with Z2Data

Enphase, a global energy technology company and manufacturer of solar microinverters, faced significant semiconductor procurement challenges due to pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions and a historic chip shortage. Their manual process for finding alternate parts was inefficient and unsustainable, threatening manufacturing continuity. To address this, they turned to the vendor Z2Data for a supply chain risk management solution.

By implementing the Z2Data platform, specifically its Part Risk Manager, Supply Chain Watch, and Supplier Insights tools, Enphase gained critical visibility into part risk scores, manufacturing locations, and supplier risk. This enabled a data-driven strategy for securing alternative components and preparing for upcoming tariff increases. The results were a streamlined, strategic sourcing process and enhanced supply chain resilience, with Z2Data's metrics becoming integral to Enphase's internal risk assessments.
