Enphase IQ Battery
The perfect fit for any Enphase solar system.
Produce, store, and consume energy on your own terms
The Enphase IQ Battery 5P all-in-one AC-coupled storage system is the most powerful battery yet from Enphase.
The IQ Battery 5P is incredibly powerful with 7.68 kW of peak power and 3.84 kW of continuous power. With six IQ8D-BAT Microinverters inside, IQ Battery 5P starts and runs more power-hungry appliances like pool pumps and air conditioners with fewer batteries.
Thanks to a distributed architecture, in the rare event one of the microinverters inside the battery stops working, power keeps flowing to the home and the lights stay on.
Keep calm, even in the storm
IQ Batteries are IP55 rated and will deliver power in the harshest weather conditions, including rain, sleet, snow, and ice.
With the Storm Guard feature in the Enphase App, you can keep your home prepared for outages by monitoring the National Weather Service for approaching storms. If one is detected, your batteries will automatically fully charge for the most backup power possible.
Load control ready
Turn power-hungry appliances on and off from the Enphase App to save your charge during an outage. Set your preferences to let the app automatically manage power for you or make changes manually.
Low voltage, high safety
Enphase IQ Batteries operate with low-voltage DC power, avoiding the dangers that come with high-voltage DC power.
Better over time
Get over-the-air software updates that bring innovative new features to your Enphase Energy System and the Enphase App.
Power you can tap into
Enphase IQ Batteries are managed by our beautifully designed app, meaning you’re just a tap away from tracking how much energy you’ve stored, managing how much energy is available for backups, and more.
Safer, more reliable batteries
Enphase IQ Batteries are the first microinverter-based storage system to meet the performance criteria of the UL 9540A—a unit-level test for thermal runaway fire propagation protection in residential indoor wall-mounted systems.
Expandability made easy
Start small. Go big. Add more batteries as your energy needs grow over time.
Industry-leading warranty
Enphase IQ Batteries are covered by a 15-year limited warranty up to 6,000 cycles.
