Enphase Energy, Inc., a global energy technology company and one the world’s leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, announced that it has started shipping its most powerful home battery to-date, the IQ® Battery 5P™, in Belgium. Enphase also introduced IQ® Energy Management, its new artificial intelligence (AI) based energy management software to enable support for dynamic electricity rates and the integration of third-party EV chargers and heat pumps in Belgium.
The IQ Battery 5P enables configurations ranging from 5 to 60 kWh and offers a significantly improved experience for homeowners and installers due to more power, resilient wired communication, and an improved commissioning experience. Each 5 kWh IQ Battery 5P delivers a continuous power of 3.84 kW, providing fast charging and discharging capabilities, making it ideal for managing dynamic electricity rates. The new IQ Energy Management software is intended to help maximize the return on investment (ROI) and reduce the payback period for homeowners with Enphase solar and battery systems throughout Belgium, where dynamic energy contracts are becoming increasingly popular.
“Our customers are excited about the IQ Battery 5P with IQ Energy Management,” said Bart Coenen, CEO of SolarNova, an installer of Enphase products in Belgium. “The intelligent software offers more control and optimized energy usage, which can lead to more saving and enhance their overall experience.”
The new IQ Energy Management software embedded into Enphase solar and battery systems uses AI optimization to direct the least expensive electricity, whether solar or the grid, toward powering the home with the goal of helping homeowners maximize financial savings. Integrating third-party EV chargers and heat pumps with Enphase systems offers additional control and will further increase lifetime savings for homeowners.
“The IQ Battery 5P combined with IQ Energy Management, has been a game changer for our customer offering,” said Dries Dams, CEO of Sun Eco, an installer of Enphase products in Belgium. “The combination of increased battery capacity and AI-driven software allows us to deliver unparalleled value to our clients.”
