IQ Battery 5P
A compact AC-coupled battery for building storage in smaller steps.
Add capacity in 5 kWh increments with Enphase monitoring.
Multiple units may be needed for your loads. Backup requires compatible system components.
Get My Options ↗A closer look at the solar panels, batteries and inverters we offer. Clear strengths. Real tradeoffs. A system designed around you.

Store solar energy for later. Support your home during an outage. Manage it all in the Tesla app.
Built-in solar inverter. Backup equipment, loads and system design determine what stays powered and for how long.
High output and storage together in one enclosure.
Your backup goals may require more storage or load management.
Smaller increments or more energy per enclosure. We check compatibility before recommending either.

A compact AC-coupled battery for building storage in smaller steps.
Add capacity in 5 kWh increments with Enphase monitoring.
Multiple units may be needed for your loads. Backup requires compatible system components.

More stored energy in a single enclosure, with the newer Enphase system architecture.
Twice the energy per enclosure compared with one 5P.
5P and 10C are not interchangeable. Confirm controller, inverter and generation compatibility.
Both Enphase batteries: limited warranty of 15 years or 6,000 discharged cycles, whichever comes first. Warranty conditions apply. Compare coverage below.
Panel-level power conversion with an integrated Qcells microinverter.

An all-black 430W solar module with its microinverter already integrated.
Panel-level monitoring and a matched panel/microinverter package.
430W is the panel DC rating. The integrated inverter has a separate 349VA continuous AC rating.
The microinverter converts the panel’s output into electricity your home can use.
For other panel configurations, we may recommend separate microinverters or a central inverter. Roof layout, shading, battery design and equipment compatibility guide the choice.
Qcells technical datasheet ↗Two different architectures. The right fit depends on the complete system.

A standalone string inverter that connects solar generation with the Tesla ecosystem.
Centralized equipment and Tesla app integration.
Roof layout and string sizing matter. Powerwall 3 already includes a solar inverter; a separate one is not automatically needed.

DC-to-AC conversion at each compatible solar panel. IQ8PLUS shown; model varies by design.
Panel-level operation and monitoring.
Exact IQ8 model must match the panel. Service may require roof access; backup needs additional compatible equipment.
A simple look at how solar and a battery can work together.
Solar supplies your home. Surplus energy can charge your battery for later.
A charged battery can supply your home after sunset, reducing electricity drawn from the grid.
With compatible backup equipment, a battery can keep selected circuits powered. What runs—and for how long—depends on your system and energy use.
Manufacturer coverage is different from a lease or PPA service agreement.
| Battery | Limited term | Capacity protection |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Powerwall 3 | 10 years | 70% retention at 10 years. Cycle/throughput conditions depend on use. |
| Enphase IQ Battery 5P | 15 years or 6,000 discharged cycles, first reached | At least 60% retention under warranty terms. |
| Enphase IQ Battery 10C | 15 years or 6,000 discharged cycles, first reached | 70% at year 10; 60% at warranty end. |
Coverage is subject to installation, use, connectivity, registration and other manufacturer conditions. Labor and replacement terms vary. Tesla allows unlimited cycles for specified self-consumption, time-based control and backup uses; other applications have a 37.8 MWh throughput limit. A loan does not extend these warranties.
We’ll compare your energy use, equipment options and backup goals.

“The system has been flawless so far, and the two batteries proved their value immediately when we had an outage just a week after installation. Truly an outstanding experience.”
“The responsiveness of the team was the one aspect I appreciated the most, answering questions or providing updates on the process. Even post installation the support team are always very responsive to follow up questions.”
“The installation team was fast and efficient. Everyone from Sales, Processing, Production to Installation was very professional and responsive.”
“This is a simply excellent team of installers. They handled every aspect of this complex process in a highly professional manner.”
“Quick to get out to address my issue. Worked with me remotely since I was not able to be home at the time of service. Tech was knowledgeable and was willing to answer all my questions. Would hire again.”
“The two technicians who replaced my old solar panels and converter were very professional and did a wonderful job. I would recommend the company for any of your solar needs.”
“Excellent price, great service, super responsive.”
“I had a quick response to the issue I was having with my solar system. They came out, diagnosed & ordered what I needed. When the replacement unit arrived, they came to install it. Professional care given to all. A pleasure to work with.”
