Powering California’s future-ready homes

California’s housing landscape is rapidly changing, with new utility standards and an increasing demand for efficient, resilient energy systems. Keeping up with these demands can be complex and costly—but Enphase storage solutions offer a smarter and flexible approach, to help new-home communities meet these requirements easily and cost-effectively.

The Enphase IQ Battery 5P integrates seamlessly with both 120/240 V split-phase (common in single-family homes) and 120/208 V single-phase (common in multifamily homes) grid supplies. With a capacity of 5 kWh, it provides builders and developers with a modular solution to Title 24 and JA12 energy code requirements—without oversizing or escalating costs.

Scalable storage for modern housing

Optimized for both single-family and multifamily projects,
it lowers costs and meets code requirements without oversizing.

Domestic content advantage

Qualifies under U.S. guidelines to unlock incentives, boosting value for builders and homeowners.

Convenience of a single SKU

Works across all grid voltages with a single model, simplifying inventory and deployment.

Optimized for NEM 3.0
