Product Description
The IQ System Controller 3 acts as the central hub of the Enphase Energy System, managing power from the grid, solar panels, and IQ Batteries. The IQ System Controller automatically switches between sources to provide uninterrupted energy during power outages. With integrated microgrid interconnection features, the IQ System Controller enhances system reliability while simplifying installation. It’s the ideal solution for homes using IQ8 Series Microinverters, offering a pre-wired, all-in-one enclosure for easier setup. The IQ System Controller streamlines grid-independent performance for PV and storage, ensuring a smarter and safer home power system. (Does not support generator integration.)
