Enphase is an American manufacturer that transformed the solar industry with its revolutionary micro-inverter technology and has won awards for its smart battery technology. It designs and manufactures high-quality domestic and commercial solar storage solutions that provide uninterrupted energy, even when the grid goes down.
The company places multiple micro-converters in every battery storage system it manufactures to deliver a high degree of modularity and ensure safe and reliable operation.
Enphase Solar Batteries
Enphase batteries enable you to control your home’s energy at night, at peak times and during power outages. As all models feature multiple micro-inverters, you still have access to the energy stored in your battery if a micro-inverter malfunctions.
With an Enphase battery, you can connect multiple batteries to increase the systems overall voltage and capacity, maximise backup potential or meet your future needs. You can also monitor your energy consumption with the Enphase app.
The current Enphase battery models include the Enphase AC, the Encharge 3T and the Encharge 10T, all of which are compatible with existing solar energy systems.
Below, you can find more information about the available Enphase solar battery models.
