Really enjoyed a lot of the points you made in this video. Enphase is gaining more and more popularity depending on what the individual's needs are. With the ever changing solar industry, it's not always easy to keep up with new trends and equipment. Very educational piece. Keep it up!!
I appreciate the kind words @MatthewYBarbo, thanks so much for watching the channel!
Great video. Thanks. 👍
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
I have an enphase system that has 56 445 watt panels running IQ8A for each of them. I'm wanting to get into batteries next, but if my calculations are correct, with the 64a limitation, they will be recommending a split system. What other battery setup would you recommend? We are a farm, and average about 80kw of usage a day. In the summer, have way more power than we consume obviously, and in the winter, December and January we get about half of what we consume. I would like to add a generator at some point down the road. Our power company does Net metering on a 1 for 1 until our meter reads zero, and then goes to cost avoidance model which doesn't pay hardly anything.
If you are paying someone else to install it, I would go with the FranklinWH system. Just make sure they do not design it using additional IQ Gateways. You would connect a couple of the strings to the backup panel using the aPbox to shed those circuits as needed during a utility outage, but they would still report back to the original IQ Gateway. The aPower2 is coming out early next year which will have double to power output per battery. I have a good video on the FranklinWH system as well. Thanks for watching the channel.
@RockyBroadSolarLLC I'm pretty handy, and wouldn't be afraid to try myself if there are better options in terms DIY world...also, thinking I may disconnect from the grid entirely once I get batteries and a generator setup. In a year, generate more power than I use, so the $500 a year it costs to be connected, well just don't sit well with me if I can cover it all on my own.
@@Someonesdream In the DIY world you could use the Flexboss21 and Gridboss and AC couple the Enphase system to that. Please also watch my most recent video on the Enphase updates in 2025. They have now opened the DER port for additional PV.
I have 4 Enphase 5ps installed. Calling it good for the next 20 years assuming I live that long.
That lithium iron phosphate should keep you squared away. Thanks for watching the channel!
New subscriber. Good analysis. newbie question: what is better a Enphase or a eg4 system (microinverters vs just one inverter)?
That is a loaded question. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for redundancy and avoiding one central failure point, Enphase wins. If you are looking for affordability, EG4 wins. Thanks for subscribing!
@@RockyBroadSolarLLC thanks for the answer!
Wow. Talk about major limitations. Not even compatible with there own older systems. Just a way to force you to buy more equipment exclusively from them.
Yes, it is a shame. You can mix the 5P battery with older microinverters, but all micros have to be the same generation and all batteries have to be the same generation. No mixing of microinverters and no mixing of batteries. Thanks for watching!
What's the price of a single battery?
You can check them out on my Signature Solar link in the description, but it takes a lot of other components aside from just the battery. If you need a quote for a turn key installation just fill out my intake form and I can get you an estimate. Thanks for watching!
In NJ for install 4 5p batteries companies want 38.5k $ this insane. 2 tesla powerwall 3 cost 22k $. Same chemistry, more capacity and more output. One thing is different tesla powerwall 3 can not be charged from generator.
Thanks for watching and commenting! That is correct. Enphase includes a lot of bells and whistles and redundancy, which also means more cost. You would still be able to integrate a PW3 system with a home that has a fossil fuel generator on site, but like you said, it won't be able to charge the batteries, it would just be a secondary line of defense in an outage in case you depleted the battery bank.
How all micro inverters synchronise with grid??
I am not an electrical engineer, but they are grid forming microinverters capable of creating there own microgrid. They can sync with the grid as long as the grid is providing clean and stable power. Thanks for watching the channel!
Looking at the battery spec I have to ask. Is 3.84 kVa same as 3.84kw?
In a perfect scenario with zero power loss, yes they are. kW output would measure the actual power delivered/received
Yes, kVa is pretty much the same thing as kW. volts x amps = watts. Seems like @zachsolar probably accurately called out the minor difference between the 2. Thanks for watching!
@@RockyBroadSolarLLCThank you for the explanation, I was scratching my head when I saw 5P's spec sheet as other manufacturers tend to go with kWh metric.
@@ZachSolarThank you for the explanation.
You didn't mention the Enphase IQ8x-80-M-US @240 VAC inverters... .they go up to 384 peak output power.
Those are a unique microinverter that are designed for high voltage modules, so I did not include them in the comparison, but yes, you are correct. Thanks for watching!
I am an Enphase investor for the last 4 years. At one point Enphase was at the top of the heap. Now it is not even close.
This is a stinking mess of a Rube Goldberg wet dream and the reviewer should point this out. I can only imagine that he has some vested interest in this product.
I am currently getting ready to exit this stock as I see it's once promising future go down the drain.
Enphase is a great system. It is just a little more difficult to install and a little more pricey than the competition. Thanks for watching!
