Enphase Energy Unveils IQ® System Controller in France and Netherlands for Reliable Backup Power

Enphase Energy, Inc. has announced the introduction of the IQ^® System Controller in France and the Netherlands.

This advanced system integrates Enphase's IQ^® Microinverters and IQ^® Battery 5Ps to provide a comprehensive energy solution that enables homeowners to seamlessly transition to backup power during grid outages, ensuring continuous operation of essential appliances.

The product, the IQ System Controller 3 INT, consolidates the interconnection equipment, IQ^® Gateway, and IQ^® Relay into a single enclosure. It enables seamless grid-independent operation for solar and battery systems with a consistent, pre-wired solution, including production and consumption current transformers (CTs). A cellular modem enhances system connectivity.

The IQ System Controller can support up to four IQ Battery 5P™ units, or 20 kWh, and comes with a 10-year warranty for all systems activated in France and the Netherlands. With Sunlight Jump Start™, the IQ8 Microinverters can restart the batteries using only sunlight after a prolonged grid outage that drains the battery. 

"The IQ System Controller offers superior convenience and safety for homeowners," said Marvin Cathelot, GM at Sarl Cathelot, an installer of Enphase products in France. "It integrates seamlessly with the IQ Battery 5P, providing a robust and dependable solution for backup power.

"Its pre-wired design and compatibility with Enphase solar and battery products make installation smooth and efficient."

"Our expansion into the European market with the IQ System Controller is another important milestone for Enphase as we continue to grow our footprint across the globe," said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy.
