Enphase Energy Launches Power Control Software for its Home Solar and Battery Systems
11 Abril 2024 - 9:00AM
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 the launch of Enphase
Power Control software that can integrate with the Enphase® Energy
System™ in North America. Enphase Power Control dynamically
controls the power produced by an Enphase Energy System. This gives
installers more flexibility in system design to build larger
systems, avoid costly main panel upgrades, and meet utility and
national electrical code (NEC) requirements.
The key benefits of Enphase Power Control include:
- Avoid main panel upgrades. Enphase Power
Control software enables the installation of more solar panels or
batteries without requiring expensive main panel upgrades to meet
NEC requirements, helping homeowners save on labor and material
costs. For example, a home with a 200-ampere main panel could
double the size of the solar and battery system without requiring a
main panel hardware upgrade.
- Enable energy exports from batteries. Enphase
Power Control software is designed to enable second and third
generation IQ® Batteries to export stored electricity to the grid
for economic benefit, maximizing the system value under rate
structures like California’s NEM 3.0. Enphase batteries are now
listed with the California Energy Commission (CEC) as power control
compliant with the export operating mode.
- Unlock more battery
capacity. By controlling the power of a system, the
Enphase Power Control software enables installers to build a
battery up to 80 kWh capacity with the IQ Battery 5P™, doubling the
capacity when compared with prior Enphase battery generations.
- Easy interconnection without
utility transformer upgrades. The Enphase batteries are
listed with the CEC as power control compliant with the import-only
operating mode and the IQ8 Microinverters are certified for power
export limiting (PEL). This enables easy interconnection with
utilities without requiring customers to pay for expensive utility
transformer upgrades.
"When designing a home energy system, homeowners are looking for
flexible, efficient systems to meet their unique energy needs, and
Enphase is accomplishing this with impressive installation
savings," said William May, owner and operator of May Electric
Solar, a Florida-based installer of Enphase’s products. "The
Enphase Energy System with power control software integration
maximizes the efficiency while remaining compliant with rules and
regulations, easily meeting the needs of both homeowners and
utilities."
Enphase Power Control software is UL-certified and can support a
variety of solar-only and solar-plus storage combinations,
including grid-tied and grid-forming applications. To learn more
about the various configurations, please read the technical brief
on the Enphase website.
"Homeowners transitioning to solar energy systems want to
minimize issues and costs during installations," said Keith
Kruetzfeldt, owner and president of Suntegrity Solar, a
California-based installer of Enphase products. "The Enphase Power
Control software enables us to avoid main panel upgrades in many
situations which results in significant savings and better return
on investment for our customers. With the addition of grid-tied
batteries under NEM 3.0, it will also help us to manage
interconnection issues with the utilities that may arise from
transformer sizing limitations."
"At Enphase, we’re focused on consistent product innovation to
provide homeowners and businesses with best-in-class technologies,"
said Mehran Sedigh, senior vice president of sales in the Americas
at Enphase Energy. "Enphase Power Control software was designed
with installers and customers in mind, allowing for simpler system
design and installation, while enhancing the efficiency of our
industry-leading home energy systems."
Enphase expects to launch additional power control functionality
in the third quarter of 2024, including support for busbar power
control, which enables homeowners to get more power from their
Enphase systems while ensuring the home’s main load panel is within
safe limits. Enphase also expects to include its power control
feature in Solargraf®, its cloud-based design, proposal, and
permitting software platform later this year.
