Keep the lights on even when storms gather

Enphase’s IQ series batteries are built to withstand severe weather conditions. The NEMA 3R rating means your solar battery will stand up to rain, sleet, ice, snow, and strong winds. 

The Enphase app integration comes with a proprietary Storm Guard feature. It helps monitor data from the National Weather Service, and can help you prepare for potential outages by automatically fully charging your battery for backup power. It’s another way that Enphase’s cutting-edge approach helps you stay prepared. 

Seamless generator support

For emergency scenarios, Enphase IQ batteries are able to sustain essential functions of your home such as appliances, outlets, and HVAC. However, your battery system is not intended to support extended outages. 

Enphase IQ batteries are capable of extending the efficiency of compatible generator systems. You can keep your home powered through challenging conditions thanks to the reliable Enphase system working in tandem seamlessly with your generator. 

Modular flexibility

Some solar batteries limit your flexibility due to large gaps in battery sizes. There might not be one that fits your specific system needs. Enphase seeks to solve this challenge through their modular approach to solar batteries. Enphase batteries are compact yet powerful, and built to function through interconnection. If you need to scale your battery system up, you can add additional battery modules to customize the storage specifically to your own needs. 

Reliable home charging

EVs are increasingly becoming an essential part of Texas living. If you’re an EV owner seeking to increase convenience and cost effectiveness, the Enphase IQ battery is an essential add-on. Pair your solar battery with a compatible home EV charger, and begin the day with a full charge for your car. 

Enhanced safety

Enphase has been leading the way on safety improvements to solar battery technology. They operate at low voltage DC power to reduce its risk of hazard. In addition, the system includes powerful emergency shutoff tools that allow utility workers, firefighters, and maintenance teams to safely operate.

Smart appliance control

Your appliances are one of the main sources of your energy bill, especially when operating inefficiently. The Enphase Enlighten app helps you monitor the usage of individual devices, and control when they operate to save more of the electricity your solar system generates.

Enphase Enlighten Monitoring

A key advantage of the Enphase family of products is their connectivity through the Enlighten Monitoring app. This app allows you to control the system from the palm of your hand. Monitor battery storage trends, adjust how much is stored, and make the most of your system with an excellent application streamlined for ease-of-use.
