Backup source when battery is depleted

Built for Severe Weather

Reliable Backup Power When the Storm Hits

IQ Batteries are NEMA 3R rated and designed to perform in tough weather conditions, including rain, sleet, snow, and ice. When severe weather strikes, they continue delivering dependable backup power to help keep your home running.

With the Storm Guard feature in the Enphase App, your system can stay one step ahead of outages. By monitoring alerts from the National Weather Service, it detects approaching storms and automatically charges your batteries to full capacity, so you have the maximum backup power when you need it most.

Why Enphase

Technology You Can Trust

Enphase is the most widely installed solar brand in residential America — and their battery technology carries that same reputation for reliability, safety, and smart performance.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Chemistry

Unlike some competitors using more volatile lithium chemistries, Enphase IQ Batteries use LFP — the safest, most stable, and longest-lasting lithium formulation available. This means a lower risk profile and more cycles over the battery’s lifetime.

Embedded Microinverter Architecture

Each IQ Battery houses its own microinverters — the same core technology that powers millions of solar homes. This AC-coupled design eliminates a separate inverter, simplifies installation, allows easy retrofitting to existing systems, and removes a single point of failure.

Intelligent Energy Management

The Enphase App gives you real-time visibility into how much energy your panels are producing, how much your battery is storing, and exactly what your home is consuming — all from your phone. Set automated schedules, choose operating modes, and optimize for savings or backup.

Modular & Scalable Design

Start with one battery and expand as your energy needs grow. IQ Batteries are designed to be stacked — adding capacity doesn’t require replacing your existing units. It’s a future-proof investment that adapts to your evolving household requirements.

Automatic Backup in Milliseconds

When the grid goes down, your system switches to battery power so quickly that most appliances won’t even notice the interruption. No manual intervention needed — your home keeps running automatically, protecting everything from your refrigerator to your medical devices.

Generator Compatible

For homes in areas with extended outage risks, Enphase IQ Batteries can be paired with a backup gas generator for an additional layer of energy security. Poulin Solar Pro also installs Generac generators — giving you a fully integrated multi-source backup solution.

Estimated Backup Hours by System Size

1× IQ Battery (5 kWh - 5 Hours Backup)

2× IQ Battery (10 kWh - 10 Hours Backup)

1× IQ Battery 10C (10 kWh - 16 Hours of Backup)

2× IQ Battery 10C (20 kWh - 24 Hours of Backup)

⚡ Backup hours are estimates based on average household loads. A Poulin Solar Pro specialist will calculate your precise requirements during your free consultation. Pairing with active solar panels extends backup duration indefinitely on sunny days.

Why Act Now

The Grid Isn't Getting More Reliable

Across New Mexico and the broader Southwest, power outages are becoming more frequent and longer-lasting — driven by extreme heat events, aging grid infrastructure, and increased demand. A home battery system is your personal insurance policy against a grid that's under pressure.

New Mexico summers push grid demand to record highs — outages most likely when you need AC most
The 10% State Investment Tax Credit is available now — future legislative changes could reduce this benefit
Utility rates continue to rise — the sooner you store your own solar energy, the sooner you stop paying peak rates
Battery technology is proven and mature — today’s systems are more reliable, more powerful, and better warranted than ever before
Poulin Solar Pro’s installation calendar fills quickly — the earlier you start, the sooner you’re protected

Financial Incentives

The Financial Case Has Never Been Stronger

Between federal tax credits, potential utility incentives, and long-term energy savings, a home battery system often pays for itself well within its warranty period.

10%

State Investment Tax Credit

New Mexico offers a 10% Solar Market Development Tax Credit (SMDTC) for residents and businesses, capped at $6,000 per taxpayer per year. The credit applies to solar PV and thermal system installation costs and is available through 2032.

↓

Reduced Electricity Bills

By drawing from stored solar energy during peak rate hours rather than the grid, most homeowners see significant reductions in their monthly utility bills — savings that compound year over year as utility rates continue to rise.

+

Home Value Increase

Homes with solar-plus-storage systems consistently command higher resale values. Energy independence is increasingly important to buyers — making your battery system an investment that pays dividends both while you live there and when it’s time to sell.
