IQ Batteries for
IQ Series Microinverters

Enphase Energy Systems with IQ7 and IQ6 Series Microinverters, are fully compatible
with Enphase IQ Batteries, making retrofit upgrades as simple as new installations.

IQ Combiner series

The IQ Combiner consolidates interconnection equipment into a single enclosure and streamlines PV and storage installations by providing a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications. Install the new communications kit in any IQ Combiner to enable wireless communication with IQ Batteries and IQ System Controller. Installation of the cellular modem is required unless already present in the IQ Combiner. This ensures the best performance of your system.

No, you cannot mix IQ6/7 microinverters with M-Series microinverters in an installation.

Enphase provides IQ-Series SKUs to replace IQ-Series microinverters that have failed or to expand an existing IQ-Series site. You cannot mix IQ6- and IQ7-Series microinverters with M-Series microinverters at a site. The following SKUs can be used to expand existing IQ-Series microinverter systems.

IQ6:

IQ6-60-2-US
IQ6PLUS-72-2-US

IQ7:

IQ7-60-2-US
IQ7PLUS-72-2-US
