Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that installers of Enphase® products in Florida have seen growing deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ® Microinverters and IQ™ Batteries, as Florida homeowners prepare for power outages this hurricane season. Residential battery capacity in Florida is increasing steadily year-over-year with forecasts estimating deployments will grow nearly seven-fold by the end of 2026, according to the most recent U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report from the Energy Storage Association and Wood Mackenzie. Homeowners in Florida can now also choose to install Enphase's revolutionary IQ8™ Microinverters.

IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight Backup™ during an outage, even without a battery. For homeowners who want battery backup, there are no sizing restrictions on pairing an Enphase IQ Battery with IQ8 Microinverters. In addition, with the Sunlight Jump Start™ feature, IQ8 Microinverters can restart a home energy system using sunlight only after prolonged grid outages that may result in a fully depleted battery.

This eliminates the need for a manual restart of the system and gives homeowners even greater resilience.
