Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today introduced IQ® Energy Management that integrates with Enphase solar and battery systems to enable smart management of variable electricity rates and select third-party electric vehicle (EV) chargers, heat pumps, and resistive electric water heaters in France. Homeowners can save money and maximize self-consumption through artificial intelligence (AI)-driven management of key home energy appliances – all controlled from the Enphase® App.
In France, electrification is booming, with EV deployments up 400% since 2020 and a goal to manufacture one million new heat pumps by 2027. Recent data also shows that approximately 40% of all homes in France – 15 million homes – use electric water heaters, which can represent up to 20% of a household’s energy consumption. The IQ Energy Management solution consists of the IQ® Energy Router™ suite of products which comes with a 5-year warranty in France and works with leading EV chargers, heat pumps, and resistive electric water heaters.
“Enphase’s IQ Energy Management is a smart solution for managing key home appliances more efficiently,” said Ludovic Vallée, general manager at Sun7, an installer of Enphase products in France. “It helps our customers maximize their solar energy use by intelligently managing EV chargers, heat pumps, and water heaters, ultimately helping users lower their energy costs and boosting energy independence.”
