Key Information:

  • For IQ Combiner 5/5C with 2nd generation batteries, use COMMS-KIT-01 instead of COMMS-KIT-02.
  • For full battery warranty, confirm you are purchasing from Authorized Enphase Distributor.
  • M Series Microinverters work with IQ Battery 5P if paired with IQ System Controller 3/3G, Envoy S Metered, and COMMS-KIT-02.
  • AC-coupled third-party inverters (e.g., Tesla, FranklinWH) may require multiple apps and have limited functionality.
  • Check the Enphase System Builder or Compatibility Matrix for detailed configurations.
