Enphase Energy System with IQ Battery 5P Owner’s Guide
System information
IQ Battery 5P stores energy and dispatches it when
you need it. IQ Battery 5P is built on a distributed
architecture platform. This modular design means you
can quickly and easily expand your system as your
needs grow.
IQ Battery 5P
The Enphase App is a mobile app where you can monitor
and control your system status from wherever you
are and know exactly how much energy your solar PV
system is producing. You can generate reports on energy
production by day, week, month, or year.
Enphase App
Under each solar panel lies an Enphase microinverter that
converts DC power generated by the panel into AC power
that your home can use.
IQ Microinverters
The brain of the Enphase Energy System is Enphase
IQ Gateway. The IQ Gateway collects production and
performance data from IQ Series Microinverters and IQ
Battery 5P, manages your system, and communicates
with the Enphase cloud.

Key components
Current Transformers measure the current owing
through the system. The Enphase Energy System uses one
CT to measure the solar power generated on your roof
and one CT to measure the electricity consumption of
your entire home. These currents measured are fed to the
IQ Gateway.
