As India accelerates its transition to renewable energy, the demand for intelligent, reliable, and safe energy storage solutions is surging. Enphase Energy’s IQ Battery 5P emerges as a game-changing innovation in this space offering a powerful, compact, and user-friendly battery storage system designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian homes and businesses. The IQ Battery 5P combined with the Enphase IQ Microinverters constitute the energy management system, which is designed to optimise and provide seamless backup power and maximise savings.

A New Benchmark in Performance and Reliability

At the heart of the IQ Battery 5P is its 5.0 kWh usable capacity, powered by six embedded IQ8D-BAT Microinverters. This configuration delivers up to 3.84 kVA of continuous power and an impressive up to 7.68 kVA peak power in backup mode making it ideal for both everyday energy optimisation and backing up critical loads during outages, and providing in-rush current to start heavy loads under backup.

Built with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, the battery ensures longer life, enhanced safety, and thermal stability, even in India’s diverse climate conditions. With an operating temperature range of –20°C to 50°C, it is engineered to perform reliably across the country’s varied geographies.

Smart, Seamless, and Scalable

The IQ Battery 5P is an AC-coupled, all-in-one system, simplifying installation and commissioning. It supports multiple operating modes including:

• Self-Consumption
• Full Backup
• Time-of-Use (TOU) optimisation

These modes allow users to maximise solar usage, reduce grid dependency, and manage energy costs effectively.

Integration with the Enphase App provides real-time monitoring and control, while remote firmware updates ensure the system stays current without manual intervention. The IQ Battery 5P is installed and connected within the home system, alongside the IQ System Controller 3 INT, which includes the necessary microgrid functionalities to provide backup power and to communicate with and control all Enphase devices in the home.

Safety First, Always

Safety is paramount in energy storage, and the IQ Battery 5P meets the highest global standards:

• UL 9540A fire safety certification
• IP55-rated enclosure for outdoor durability
• Passive cooling with no moving parts, reducing maintenance and noise, and increasing reliability.

Its wired control communication ensures robust and secure system operation, even in challenging environments.

Designed for the Indian Market

With a single-phase interconnection and 230 V nominal AC voltage, the IQ Battery 5P is tailored for Indian residential and small commercial applications. Its compact footprint (980 mm × 550 mm × 188 mm) and wall or pedestal mounting options make it adaptable to space-constrained urban settings.
