What Makes the New Enphase IQ Battery 5-P a GameChanger?

The IQ Battery 5P is an all-in-one AC-coupled system. It’s powerful, reliable, simple and safe. Usually, when a solar battery inverter fails, the entire solar system becomes useless. Many solar battery owners will be familiar with this tedious flaw. But Enphase is the only company in the world to use multiple microinverters in every battery and place microinverters under every solar panel. If a microinverter fails, you’ll still get energy out of the battery. It’s almost like a backup for your backup. That’s what you call reliability! And when it comes to solar batteries, reliability should be your priority.

The World’s Most Reliable Solar Battery

• 15-Year Manufacturers Warranty!
• Run Your Home in the Event of a Grid Outage!
