Enphase Energy Unveils Product Roadmap, Featuring Residential Solar, Battery Storage, EV Charging, Commercial Energy Systems, and AI Data Center Infrastructure

On May 16, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Enphase Energy unveiled an expanded product roadmap focused on residential solar, battery storage, EV charging, commercial energy systems, and AI data center infrastructure as the company looks to broaden its position beyond microinverters. During a recent business update, CEO Badri Kothandaraman said the company has shipped approximately 87.8 million microinverters and deployed more than 5 million systems across over 165 countries.

The company highlighted several new technologies, including the expansion of its IQ9 microinverter platform, next-generation residential batteries, bidirectional EV charging systems, and commercial-scale energy storage products. Enphase said its redesigned EV charger is now ramping in both the United States and Europe, while its upcoming bidirectional EV charger will support vehicle-to-home backup power and future vehicle-to-grid services using grid-forming microinverter technology. The company expects pre-orders to begin in the third quarter of 2026, with shipments planned for the fourth quarter.

Enphase is also developing an 80-kilowatt-hour commercial battery system aimed at schools, hospitals, gas stations, and small businesses. Up to 25 battery cabinets can reportedly be connected together to provide as much as 2 megawatt-hours of storage capacity. Pilot deployments are expected to begin in early 2027.

A major focus of the update was Enphase’s push into AI data center power infrastructure through its new IQ Solid-State Transformer (IQ SST). The system is designed to convert medium-voltage AC power into 800-volt DC power for AI computing facilities while reducing conversion losses and improving efficiency. Enphase plans to begin internal demonstrations in 2026, pilot projects in 2027, and volume production in 2028.

Enphase Energy Introduced the IQ EV Charger 2

Enphase Energy recently introduced the IQ EV Charger 2, a next-generation smart EV charging solution designed to integrate with home solar and battery systems while also functioning as a standalone Level 2 charger. The charger is built to help homeowners maximize solar self-consumption by automatically adjusting charging speeds based on available excess solar energy, allowing EVs to charge using cleaner, lower-cost electricity.

The IQ EV Charger 2 supports charging speeds up to 11.5 kW on 240-volt residential systems and up to 22.1 kW in certain commercial applications using NACS connectors. Enphase says the charger dynamically adjusts charging current in 1-amp increments, helping optimize solar charging even during fluctuating sunlight conditions. The system also includes dynamic load balancing technology designed to prevent electrical panel overloads and potentially avoid costly service upgrades.

Designed for both residential and commercial installations, the charger features a weather-resistant NEMA 4 enclosure, RFID and app-based access controls, Wi-Fi connectivity, and compatibility with nearly all major EV brands. Enphase also emphasized future-ready capabilities through ISO 15118-20 compliance, which prepares the charger for upcoming bidirectional charging applications such as vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid functionality.

The IQ EV Charger 2 is fully integrated into the broader Enphase energy ecosystem, enabling homeowners to monitor solar production, battery storage, home energy use, and EV charging through a single mobile app. Features such as scheduled charging, storm preparation settings, and solar-priority “Green Charging” modes are designed to help users lower electricity costs and increase energy independence.
