Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today announced initial shipments of its most powerful home battery to-date, the IQ® Battery 5P, for customers in India. Enphase announced pre-orders of IQ Battery 5Ps in September 2024.
India’s power grid faces frequent challenges, with outages disrupting numerous households daily. The IQ Battery 5P delivers reliable, uninterrupted backup power to keep homes powered, even during grid outages. Starting at 5 kWh, it can scale up to 40 kWh to meet varying home energy needs. With 3.84 kW continuous power and 7.68 kW peak power for short bursts, the IQ Battery 5P enables homeowners to run even the most power-hungry appliances during outages. Built with advanced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, the battery offers enhanced safety and significantly less maintenance compared to the widely used lead-acid batteries in India.
“Indian homeowners value reliability and energy independence when it comes to choosing a home backup system,” said Jeethan Castelino, managing director at Nlite Energy, an installer of Enphase products in India. “Enphase’s IQ Battery 5P not only offers our customers exceptional performance but also empowers them to harness solar energy, reduce their dependence on the grid, and take control of their energy future.”
