Always-On Backup Power

With Enphase, your backup system doesn’t just sit idle waiting for an emergency. When the grid goes down, your Enphase IQ Battery system kicks in instantly, keeping your home energized without skipping a beat.

Key Advantages:

  • Instant Switchover: Seamlessly transitions to battery power during outages.
  • Flexible Backup Modes: Allows you to prioritize power for what matters most, from essential appliances to the whole home.
  • Sunlight Jumpstart™: Enables a full system reboot using only sunlight after a prolonged outage, without needing the grid to restart.

No Single Point of Failure

Unlike traditional systems that depend on one central inverter, the Enphase system uses a distributed, modular design. Each microinverter and battery operates independently, which significantly reduces your risk of a complete system shutdown.

If one component fails, the rest of the system keeps running.

Smart Energy Optimization

Even when the grid is stable, your Enphase system is working behind the scenes to optimize how and when you use energy. Its intelligent software:

  • Combines solar and battery output for higher efficiency.
  • Dynamically manages home energy loads to avoid costly spikes.
  • Adapts to changing weather and utility rate schedules in real-time to maximize savings.

More Savings, Less Waste

Every bit of solar energy you generate is used more efficiently with Enphase . By intelligently storing excess energy and avoiding grid usage during peak price hours, you:

  • Save more money over the lifetime of your system.
  • Reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Increase your overall energy independence.

Peace of Mind, All the Time

The Enphase App gives you complete control and visibility over your entire system. See exactly how much backup time you have left, receive important system alerts, and adjust settings on the fly—anytime, from anywhere.
