Enphase Batteries are out of stock
Subscribe to updates – we'll let you know when Enphase Batteries are back in stock. Normally, we update products every 2 weeks.
Enphase is one of the most well-known and trusted brands in the solar industry. Its microinverters are used in roughly 40% of all new residential solar systems, and Enphase IQ batteries are becoming increasingly popular. Statistics from our 2025 Solar Industry Survey show that 74% of installers used Enphase batteries last year, and they landed the second place spot on our Best Solar Batteries of 2025 list.
The company has revolutionized home energy storage with their modular IQ Battery series, offering seamless integration, exceptional reliability, and industry-leading warranties. With double the output of the previous generation, it wins our award as the best solar battery.
AC-coupled design with microinverter integration. Safe lithium iron phosphate cells. Modular scalability for custom energy needs.
Its third generation IQ product, the 5P, is an AC-coupled modular system with total usable capacity of 5 kWh and a continuous power rating of 3.84 kW (7.68 kW peak). 96% round-trip efficiency maximizes solar energy capture.
Enphase batteries use safe lithium iron phosphate battery cells, can be installed in multiple combinations of capacity and output, and come with industry-leading 15 year, 6,000 cycle warranties.
Retrofit-friendly AC coupling. Professional certified installation network. Compatible with existing solar systems.
A complete system with two of the new IQ 5P batteries costs between $15,000 and $17,000, depending on your installer. Based on our industry research, an average-sized system that includes two Enphase IQ 5P batteries should cost around $15,000 before incentives.
Enphase Solar Battery Cost Breakdown:
If you choose to get the older Enphase IQ 10T battery (which offers the same energy storage capacity but half the power output) you'll save about $2,000 on the installation. Enphase IQ batteries also qualify for the federal clean energy tax credit that can reduce that cost by 30%.
Enphase Energy, a global energy technology company based in Fremont, CA, is the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems. The IQ Battery 5P's cells are procured from China, though Enphase's European-made IQ Battery 5P avoids U.S. tariffs but adds 2-3 weeks for shipping. The company maintains strict quality control standards regardless of manufacturing location.
All of these batteries are fine additions to a home solar system, but the new IQ 5P is the star. As for expansion capabilities, up to 4 IQ 5P batteries can be connected together.

Customer Testimonials:
"Recently installed an Enphase powered solar system including the latest IQ battery and smart platform. Clear market leader, could not recommend enough."
"Since installing the Enphase IQBATTERY-5P-1P-ROW batteries, I have seen a significant increase in my energy independence. The ability to store and use my solar energy when needed has drastically reduced my electricity bills and reliance on the grid."
"First, the Enphase system (solar panels, batteries, combiner) has significantly reduced my electricity bill. Second, it is a very intelligent system."
"The Service and Tech Support was GREAT and I have NO COMPLAINTS with ENPHASE or its products."
Professional installation is required for grid-tied systems. "We don't have to move any circuits—it really cuts down the timeline to install the batteries themselves," said Hammerstone. He added that the streamlined installation process translates to faster job completion and lower labor costs that can be passed to customers.
Enphase IQ Batteries are covered by a 15-year limited warranty up to 6,000 cycles. 15 years is pretty impressive for a battery, and the warranted capacity at the end of that time is 60%, which is common for batteries with 10 year warranties.
A complete two-battery IQ 5P system costs $15,000-$17,000 before incentives. The federal clean energy tax credit can reduce costs by 30%.
Yes, Enphase batteries are AC-coupled, making them ideal for retrofit installations with any existing solar system.
Enphase batteries come with a 15-year warranty and are designed for 6,000 cycles, typically lasting 10-15 years with minimal degradation.
Enphase offers AC-coupled technology, easier retrofit installation, longer warranty coverage (15 vs 10 years), and higher installer preference rates.
Enphase batteries are available through certified installers nationwide. Contact local solar professionals for competitive pricing and professional installation.
Yes, when paired with Enphase's IQ8 microinverters, the system provides backup power during grid outages, though this adds $2,500-$4,000 to the total cost.
