Enphase Battery Systems
Enphase Batteries Gold Coast
Stored Power supplies and installs Enphase home battery systems across the Gold Coast and surrounding areas. The IQ Battery 5P provides modular AC-coupled energy storage, smart monitoring and configurable backup options for new and existing solar homes.
Smart Home Battery Storage with Enphase
An Enphase battery can store excess solar generation during the day so that energy can be used later when household demand is higher or solar production has fallen. This can increase the amount of solar energy used within the home and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
The Enphase approach is based around an AC-coupled, modular battery architecture. This makes the IQ Battery 5P suitable for a range of system designs, including households that already have solar and homes planning a new solar and battery installation together.
Stored Power assesses the existing solar equipment, household electricity usage, required storage capacity, backup goals and electrical configuration before recommending an Enphase battery system.

Enphase IQ Battery 5P
The IQ Battery 5P is Enphase's modular home battery platform for Australia. Each unit provides 5.0 kWh of usable energy storage and uses embedded microinverters within an integrated AC battery system.
5.0 kWh Usable Capacity
Each IQ Battery 5P provides 5.0 kWh of usable storage, allowing capacity to be built around the household's energy requirements.
Up to 3.84 kVA Continuous Power
Enphase specifies continuous output of up to 3.84 kVA per 5P unit in a single-phase configuration, subject to the final installation and local connection requirements.
Modular Storage
The 5 kWh architecture allows multiple batteries to be combined where more storage is required, making the system adaptable to different household loads and future energy needs.
AC-Coupled Architecture
The IQ Battery 5P is an AC-coupled battery with embedded Enphase microinverters, giving installers flexibility when integrating storage with compatible new or existing solar systems.
Lithium Iron Phosphate
Enphase uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry in the IQ Battery 5P, selected for safety, durability and long-term energy storage applications.
15-Year Limited Warranty
Enphase currently provides a 15-year limited warranty for eligible IQ Battery 5P systems in Australia and New Zealand, subject to its current warranty terms and conditions.
Why Consider Enphase Battery Storage?
Enphase combines modular battery storage with monitoring and energy-management technology designed to work as part of a wider home energy system.
Use More Solar at Home
Store excess daytime solar generation and use it later rather than exporting all surplus energy to the grid.
Enphase App Monitoring
The Enphase App provides visibility of solar generation, battery status, household energy consumption and grid interaction from one interface.
Backup Capability
Enphase systems can be designed for backup operation with the appropriate supporting equipment. The loads supported and backup duration depend on system design, available stored energy and household consumption.
Flexible System Sizing
The modular 5 kWh design allows storage capacity to be selected around current needs and provides options for expansion where the system configuration supports it.
Passive Cooling
The IQ Battery 5P uses passive cooling without fans or other moving cooling components, helping simplify the battery's mechanical design.
Remote Software Updates
Enphase supports remote software and firmware updates as part of its connected home energy platform.
Single-Phase and Three-Phase Homes
Enphase introduced the IQ Battery 5P with FlexPhase in Australia to provide greater flexibility across both single-phase and three-phase residential applications. The system can be configured according to the property's electrical supply, grid requirements and energy-storage needs.
In single-phase applications, Enphase specifies up to 3.84 kVA of continuous power per 5 kWh battery unit. In a three-phase configuration, the available output is distributed across the phases. The appropriate design depends on the home's electrical configuration and the equipment included in the complete Enphase Energy System.
For households wanting backup power, the system design also needs to account for the circuits or loads that should remain powered during an outage. Stored Power can assess these requirements as part of the battery design process.
Who Enphase Battery Storage May Suit
Existing Enphase Solar Owners
Homes already using Enphase solar technology may benefit from keeping solar, battery storage and energy monitoring within the wider Enphase ecosystem, subject to system compatibility.
Homes Wanting Modular Storage
The 5 kWh battery format can suit households that want storage capacity designed around their actual requirements rather than starting with one large fixed-size battery.
Three-Phase Properties
The FlexPhase platform gives Enphase an option for compatible three-phase homes, with the final configuration determined by the property's supply and system requirements.
Households Planning Backup
Where resilience during grid outages is important, an Enphase battery can form part of a backup-capable system designed around the household's priority loads and expected energy use.
Enphase with New or Existing Solar
New Solar and Battery Installation
Installing solar and storage together allows panel capacity, microinverters, battery storage, monitoring and backup requirements to be considered as one complete home energy system.
Explore solar installationAdding a Battery to Existing Solar
Because the IQ Battery 5P is AC coupled, it can be considered for a range of existing solar properties. Compatibility still needs to be assessed against the existing inverter, switchboard, metering and electrical configuration.
Explore battery installationOur Enphase Battery Installation Process
Battery sizing and system design should begin with the property and its energy use.
1. Site and Energy Review
We assess the property, electricity consumption, existing solar equipment, electrical supply and the outcomes you want from battery storage.
2. System Recommendation
We determine whether Enphase suits the project and recommend storage capacity, supporting equipment and backup configuration where required.
3. Professional Installation
The battery and supporting equipment are installed and integrated with the property's solar and electrical systems according to the approved design.
4. Commissioning and Handover
Once commissioned, we help you understand the Enphase App, system operation, battery status and the key controls available for your installation.
Why Choose Stored Power for Battery Installation?
Whole-System Advice
We consider solar generation, electricity use, battery capacity, electrical configuration and backup requirements together rather than treating the battery as an isolated product.
Property-Specific Design
Every home has different energy usage, solar equipment and installation conditions, so the system is designed around the actual property.
