Our total revenue increased 20%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Demand was strong in our markets worldwide, particularly in North America and Europe. Our revenue in Europe for the third quarter of 2022 increased approximately 70%, compared to the second quarter of 2022, as countries in the region are accelerating their efforts to address rising energy prices and reliance on fossil fuels. Our IQ Battery shipments increased 1%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Our non-GAAP gross margin was 42.9% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 42.2% in the second quarter of 2022, driven by IQ8™ Microinverter product mix.

Our non-GAAP operating expenses were $78.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $71.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased investment in R&D, customer service, and sales. Our non-GAAP operating income was $194.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $152.4 million in the second quarter of 2022.

We exited the third quarter of 2022 with $1.42 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and generated $188.0 million in cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2022. Our capital expenditures were $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2022.

IQ8 Microinverters constituted approximately 47% of all our microinverter shipments during the third quarter of 2022. IQ8 Microinverters can form a microgrid and provide Sunlight Backup™ during an outage, even without a battery. 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. This eliminates the need for a manual restart of the system and gives homeowners greater resilience.

Our IQ Battery shipments were 133.6 megawatt hours in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 132.4 megawatt hours in the second quarter of 2022. We shipped batteries to the United States, Germany, and Belgium during the third quarter. We now have approximately 2,100 installers worldwide that are certified to install our IQ Batteries.

We recently acquired GreenCom Networks AG based in Munich, Germany. The company provides Internet of Things (IoT) software solutions for customers to connect and manage a wide range of distributed energy devices within the home, thereby enabling sector convergence. This acquisition allows us to add a local engineering team to service the accelerating clean energy transition in Europe, provide installers with a complete home energy management system integrating Enphase microinverters and batteries with third-party electric vehicle (EV) chargers and heat pumps, and enable homeowners to monitor and control their devices from the Enphase® App.

Effect of dilutive in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes and warrants are included in the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares in periods where we have GAAP net income. We excluded the in-the-money portion of convertible notes due 2024 totaling 46 thousand shares and 1,014 thousand shares in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as we entered into convertible note hedge transactions that reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the notes due 2024. We excluded the in-the-money portion of convertible notes due 2025 totaling 1,253 thousand shares and 658 thousand shares in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 976 thousand shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares. We excluded in-the-money portion of convertible notes due 2026 and notes due 2028 totaling 2,057 thousand shares and 2,018 thousand shares, respectively, each in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as we entered into convertible note hedge transactions that reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the notes due 2026 and notes due 2028.
