Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that it has started production shipments of its most powerful home battery to-date, the IQ® Battery 5P?, for customers in Italy. The IQ Battery 5P is a modular design with 5 kWh capacity and can be paired with the new IQ8? Microinverters to provide homeowners reliable electricity to use whenever they need it.

Enphase launched its new home energy system in Italy with IQ Battery 5P and IQ8 Microinverters during an event at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello in December 2023. The event featured hundreds of solar installers and distributors from across the country, as well as Enphase executives. Enphase began shipping IQ8 Microinverters at the end of 2023, and announced the start of shipments for IQ Battery 5P to customers in the region.

The new Enphase® Energy System? with the IQ Battery 5P enables configurations ranging from 5 to 60 kWh and offers a significantly improved experience for homeowners and installers because of more power, resilient wired communication, and an improved commissioning experience. Homeowners can also use the Enphase® App to monitor performance and intelligently manage their battery systems, including the self-consumption feature to help minimize the use of electricity from the grid.

The third-generation Enphase Energy Systems in Italy also include IQ8 Microinverters, which are designed to help maximize energy production and can manage a continuous DC current of 14 amperes to support higher-powered solar modules through increased energy harvesting. The Enphase Energy System integrates with the IQ®Gateway, which can be connected to the internet to enable over-the-air updates and connect to the Enphase App monitoring platform. In addition, Enphase offers 24/7 customer support and an industry-leading warranty for both solar and battery products.

This includes a 25-year limited warranty for all IQ8 Microinverters and a 15-year warranty for all IQ Batteries activated in Italy. Enphase expects to introduce more sophisticated energy management software for its solar plus battery systems in 2024 as Italy continues the rapid shift toward electrification with electric vehicles, heat pumps, and more. The Enphase Energy System software will manage this complexity by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to forecast and optimize home energy needs.

Installers and distributors in Italy can order the IQ Battery 5P today. Enphase will be showcasing its Enphase Energy System with IQ8 Microinverters and IQ Battery 5P at the KEY Energy Transition Expo in Rimini, Italy from Feb. 28 - March 1, 2024 at stand D3 195.

The Company will also be showcasing Enphase products and services during the distributor roadshow happening throughout the country in April 2024.
