Enphase's (ENPH) Products See Enhanced Presence in Australia
Enphase Energy, Inc. ENPH recently announced that its installers have witnessed the increased adoption of its Enphase Energy Systems, powered by the new IQ Battery 5P and IQ8 Microinverters, in Australia. In particular, homeowners in Australia have been deploying rapidly this latest home energy system offered by Enphase, following its launch in this nation in the second quarter of 2023.
This highlights Enphase products’ efficiency in offering sustainability and reliability, which may have fueled the demand. As homeowners increasingly move toward renewable sources of energy, the company may witness the further deployment of its products in the days ahead.
Enphase’s Steady Expansion Plans With New Products
The new Enphase Energy system with the IQ Battery 5P enables configurations ranging from 5 to 20 kilowatt-hour (kWh) capacity. Each 5 kWh battery is designed to deliver 3.84 kilowatt (kW) continuous power and 7.68 kW peak power for three seconds, allowing homeowners to start heavy loads during an outage.
The two new microinverters, IQ8AC and IQ8HC, feature peak output power of 366 watts (W) and 384 W, respectively, and can pair with a full range of solar modules up to 505 watt-direct current (W DC). IQ8 Microinverters are SA Power Networks dynamic export capable.
Such features should boost Enphase’s steady expansion with its new family of Enphase Energy System, powered by the IQ Battery 5P and IQ8 Microinverters. With the unparalleled performance of Enphase Energy Systems, the company is poised to witness robust demand not only in Australia but also in various other global regions.
Other than Australia, the company launched its third-generation IQ Battery 5P in the United States and Puerto Rico in the second quarter, with plans to launch in Europe by the end of the year. Such expansion plans tend to boost the long-term growth of the company in the battery storage market.
