Enphase IQ Battery Australia and NZ

What is the Enphase Energy System?

This video explains the story behind Enphase Energy System which is a combination of microinverters, IQ battery and IQ System Controller providing homes and businesses with backup power.

 

Meet the NEW Enphase IQ Battery 5P

All-in-one battery backup power. Now with Load Control and PCS Integration

The Enphase IQ Battery 5P, which is a 5 kWh, is AC coupled and can be installed for storing excess solar for when the sun goes down. To use the battery for backup power an Enphase IQ System Controller is installed with the battery. During outages, the IQ System Controller isolates the solar system from the grid and connects the storage.

Modular design allows for easy expansion

Enphase Solar is built on a distributed architecture platform

This modular microinverter design means you can quickly and easily expand your customers system, as their needs grow.

Being a full AC coupled battery, multiple batteries can be installed increasing the storage capacity to suit the customers specific needs now and into the future.

Up to 4 x  IQ Battery 5’s can be installed providing over 20kWh of capacity.

Enphase IQ8 – BAT Microinverter

Each battery includes multiple bi-directional IQ™ 8 microinverters to switch energy from DC to AC and back again for safe, reliable operation

 

So, even if one stops, the battery will continue to operate and keep the lights on.

Enphase IQ System Controller

The IQ System Controller senses when the grid goes down and seamlessly transitions the home from grid power to backup power

The IQ System Controller disconnects the grid and powers the backup loads using the IQ Battery system, PV system and the switchboard that houses the circuits that will be powered during a grid outage.

The IQ System Controller has the Smart Switch, the Enphase IQ Gateway, Circuit protection, Power Control and anti-islanding protection as required by Australian and New Zealand standards.

The IQ System Controller communicates with the IQ Batteries wirelessly on the same communications platform as microinverters.

Microinverters can be easily replaced for quick repairs in the field

 

No need to return the whole battery. Enphase IQ Battery uses the latest IQ 8™ microinverter technology with granular system visibility.

Simplify installations by controlling power output

Power Control Systems (PCS) control the output of one or more power production sources

 

PCS systems limit current and loading on the busbars and conductors supplied by the power production sources and/or energy storage systems.  PCS can be used for export control as well as offset the need for switchboard upgrades due to excess maximum demand.

Power you can tap into

Enphase Storage is managed by their beautifully designed app, meaning you’re
just a tap away from tracking how much energy has been stored, managing how
much energy is available for backups, and more.

This app allows homeowners to:

  • Monitor system performance from just about anywhere
  • Easily view how much electricity each individual panel is producing in real-time and by day, month, or year.
  • Make Informed choices about how best to use the energy your home generates
  • Contact support, troubleshoot issues, and join the community conversation.
  • With iQ Load Control you can ensure the battery lasts longer in an outage by prioritising and directing power to critical loads.
