Important: This listing is for one IQ Battery 5P unit. Additional Enphase system equipment is required for operation. Backup power requires a compatible IQ System Controller and other approved components.
Enphase IQ Battery 5P: Powerful Home Energy Storage
The Enphase IQ Battery 5P combines lithium iron phosphate battery storage and AC power conversion in one integrated system.
Unlike conventional battery modules that require a separate battery inverter, the IQ Battery 5P includes six embedded grid-forming microinverters. These convert stored DC electricity into AC power for compatible home energy applications.
Each battery provides 5kWh of usable storage capacity and up to 3.84kVA of continuous AC output at 240V, making it suitable for residential energy management and appropriately designed backup systems.
When connected to a compatible Enphase Energy System, the IQ Battery 5P can store excess solar production, discharge electricity when household demand increases, and support energy management strategies based on utility rates.
The system can also provide backup electricity during utility outages when installed with the required Enphase IQ System Controller and supporting equipment.
For homeowners seeking additional storage capacity, multiple compatible IQ Battery 5P units can be installed as part of an appropriately designed Enphase system.
Six Integrated Grid-Forming Microinverters
The IQ Battery 5P features six integrated IQ8D-BAT microinverters that provide AC power conversion and support grid-forming operation in compatible backup configurations.
Integrated Microinverter Benefits
- 3.84kVA continuous output: Rated continuous power at 240V.
- 7.68kVA peak output: Available for up to three seconds under specified conditions.
- 6.14kVA surge output: Available for up to ten seconds under specified conditions.
- Integrated AC conversion: No separate battery inverter is required for the battery's own AC output.
- Grid-forming capability: Supports compatible backup operation with the required Enphase equipment.
- Modular system design: Additional batteries can increase total storage and available system power within supported limits.
The actual loads supported during backup depend on the complete system configuration, battery quantity, equipment ratings, and load characteristics.
5kWh Usable Capacity with Expandable Storage
Each Enphase IQ Battery 5P provides 5.0kWh of usable battery capacity.
Additional compatible batteries can be installed to increase storage capacity and available output power for properly designed systems.
