Enphase Energy, a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, has recently launched its most powerful Enphase Energy System to-date, featuring the new IQ Battery 5P and IQ8 Microinverters, for customers in Italy. The IQ Battery 5P is a modular design with 5 kWh capacity; the new IQ8 Microinverters provide peak AC power up to 384 W to support newer high-powered solar modules, offering homeowners reliable electricity to use whenever they need it.
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 minimize the use of electricity from the grid.
Commenting on the launch, Michele Celi, Owner of Link Impianti, said, “We’re proud to provide homeowners in Italy with the best technology the solar industry has to offer. With the Enphase Energy System, we believe we can design and install a range of more powerful, safe, and reliable systems.”
IQ8 Microinverters are designed to help maximize energy production and can manage a continuous DC current of 14 amperes, supporting higher powered solar modules through increased energy harvesting. The three new microinverters – IQ8MC, IQ8AC, and IQ8HC – feature a peak output power of 330 W, 366 W, and 384 W, respectively, and are designed to seamlessly pair with a full range of solar modules up to 560 W DC.
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. The IQ Gateway and IQ Microinverters enable industry-leading monitoring capabilities at the solar module level, supporting critical insights for ongoing system operations and maintenance. 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.
Expressing their view on the launch, David Ranhoff, Chief Commercial Officer at Enphase Energy, said, “At Enphase, we strive to provide world-class technology for homeowners and businesses to support their energy needs. As Italy aims to increase its clean energy generation, we’re proud to work with our installer network across the country to equip homeowners with smart, safe, and powerful solar and battery products.”
