Enphase Energy, Inc. and Semper Solaris announced today an expanded strategic relationship focused on deploying Enphase’s IQ8™ Microinverters and the IQ® Battery 5P™. Semper Solaris is also now utilizing Solargraf®, Enphase’s cloud-based design, proposal, and permitting software platform.
Semper Solaris offers Enphase’s third generation of Enphase® Energy Systems™, which includes IQ8 Microinverters, the IQ Battery 5P, IQ™ System Controller 3/3G, and IQ™ Combiner 5/5C. This all-in-one solution enables a significantly improved customer experience due to more power, resilient wired communication, and an improved commissioning process. Homeowners can configure their systems for self-consumption, savings, or full backup functionality depending on their home energy needs.
“We pride ourselves on delivering the leading solar and battery technology available in the market that will provide an amazing customer experience end-to-end,” said RJ Sparks, COO and CFO at Semper Solaris. “We appreciate Enphase’s shared values of quality, reliability, and customer service. Our customers deserve the best, and that’s what Enphase helps us deliver.”
Semper Solaris is a leading installer in California. Enphase Energy Systems and the Enphase Solargraf platform can be leveraged by California installers to maximize value under the new net billing tariff (NEM 3.0). The Enphase IQ Battery can be configured in a “grid-tied” system configuration that is designed to allow energy self-consumption plus export, without backup, minimizing the overall number of system components which can reduce upfront costs. California installers can also use the Solargraf platform to build optimized solar and battery storage systems based on predicted energy production and consumption models to help determine estimated payback periods and electric bill offsets under NEM 3.0. Solargraf also includes 3D modeling, a built-in bill of materials calculator, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) data integration, among other features.
Enphase’s software leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to manage the complexity of California’s new rates to significantly improve value for homeowners. Enphase expects to introduce an upgrade to its energy management software for its solar plus battery systems in 2024 to support the rapid shift toward electrification with electric vehicles, heat pumps, and more.
“Enphase is committed to providing installers with the tools they need to streamline their businesses and provide homeowners with world-class products,” said Dave Ranhoff, chief commercial officer at Enphase Energy. “We’re thrilled to enhance our collaboration with Semper to deploy our latest battery technology, which seamlessly pairs with a wide range of systems to allow homeowners to maximize the value of their home energy systems.”
