Imagine a home that runs on sunshine—even when the sun (or grid) goes down. With solar panels and a home battery backup system, that vision is now a reality for homeowners. A battery can help protect you from grid instability, provide you with more energy independence, give you power during outages, and allow you to navigate peak and off-peak rates with ease. To further dig into how home battery backup can help you, check out this blog.
But with any new technology comes questions about which option is the best and how reliable those options are. Namaste Solar is committed to offering the best technology to our customers and to offering homeowners choice when it comes to home battery backup. In addition to offering the Tesla Powerwall 3, we’re now offering the Enphase IQ Battery 5P to pair with your home solar array.
Enphase 5P: Everything You Need to Know
The Enphase 5P is a great solution for many Coloradan homeowners who are looking for a seamless experience between other Enphase products, like existing Enphase micro-inverters. The Enphase 5P can be installed as part of a new solar plus battery installation, can be a stand-alone addition to an already existing solar system, or can be a stand-alone purchase without a solar system.
Here’s some of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you invest in an Enphase 5P battery:
- Enphase’s most powerful battery yet – The battery pack offers 11.52 kW of continuous power and 23.04 kW of peak power, outperforming many others in the market. Like most batteries, the Enphase 5P can power the essential loads of your home during a power outage, but it can also handle the large startup loads of appliances that require a lot of energy to turn on (heat pumps, an electric furnace, an electric water heater, etc.).
- Can be installed outdoors – Built for outdoor installation, this greatly expands the possibilities available to you with installation. No more needing to confine your battery power to a basement or garage if you choose the Enphase 5P.
- Manage the whole system with the Enphase app – You can choose when to charge and discharge your battery all from the easy-to-use app, including the ability to program preferred settings. For customers in time of use areas, you can charge your battery from your solar system when the sun is out and discharge when electricity is the most expensive during on peak hours (in the afternoon/evening) to save even more money on your electricity bill.
- Industry leading warranty – The Enphase 5P comes with a 15-year limited warranty ensuring that you’re covered for the long haul.
- Easy to grow your storage capacity over time – With this battery, you can start small and expand your home battery backup capacity later on.
- The Enphase 5P comes from a trusted, reputable company – Enphase is a proven high-quality company, founded in 2006. Namaste Solar has been partnering with Enphase for many years and has thoroughly vetted the new Enphase 5p battery.
- Eligible for financial incentives – The Enphase 5P is eligible for several financial incentives and you can learn about every one of them here. Between federal, state, and local incentives, you can save thousands on the Enphase 5P.
- Seamless connection with other Enphase products – If you have an existing Enphase micro-inverter solar system on your home and install an Enphase 5P battery, you’re keeping the same platform across all systems. Having an Enphase micro-inverter system and battery allows you to monitor the entire system in one application.
