What’s new

For Enphase App users on NEM 3.0 (Net Billing Tariff) in California with IQ Batteries, and users with IQ Batteries on dynamic tariff or time-of-use rates in Belgium and Netherlands:

1. Introduced new system profile called AI Optimization to help maximize savings
   
   For any NEM 3.0 system in California, as well as systems on dynamic tariff or time-of-use rates in Belgium and Netherlands, we have added a new system profile called AI Optimization. Replacing the former Savings profile, it maximizes financial savings based on electricity rate, consumption pattern, and expected solar production. This profile should be selected if the user’s main energy goal is saving more money on utility bills.

   

2. Exporting to the grid in the Self-Consumption profile for NEM 3.0 systems
   
   For users on NEM 3.0 who prefer to keep their system profile set to Self-Consumption, and for whom the Battery Mode is Export only, the Discharge battery to the grid feature will be available to benefit from high export rates, especially during the months of August and September.

   Whenever the profile is switched to Self-Consumption, the Discharge battery to the grid feature will be auto-enabled. Once enabled, the discharge time window will be automatically set based on the user’s set tariff. If the tariff is missing, the discharge time window will be identified using the NEM 3.0 rates available at the user’s location based on ZIP code.

   Users with their battery in Export only mode can navigate to Menu > Settings > Battery to enable or disable the Discharge battery to the grid feature.

   

3. Updated list of storm alerts and events to improve Storm Guard coverage
   
   We have updated the list of alerts and storm events that activate the Storm Guard feature.

   The following events have been added to Storm Guard monitoring:

   Flood Watch

   Tornado Watch

   Typhoon Warning

   Hurricane Watch

   Tropical Storm Watch

   
   The following event has been removed from Storm Guard monitoring:

What’s new?

We’re always trying to improve your experience. Here are the features we introduced to make installation and monitoring gets faster, easier, and better.

Enhanced battery report for SGIP purpose

We enhanced battery report to download Battery Report for a custom date range with selected intervals under ‘Reports’ for a given site. This report can be generated for any 7 days range instead of the current report which is generated only for the last 7 days. Also, the report can be generated for different time intervals (5, 15, 30 mins) instead of the irregular interval raw data we are showing today. This is primarily used for SGIP incentive purpose.
 

• Select ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date’ for which report must be generated 

• The system will not allow to select more than 7 days 

• Select the time interval between each record (i.e., 5, 15 and 30 mins) with 5 mins as default. 

• Once you click on ‘Submit’, report is generated with below columns

  1. Created Date 

  2. Encharge Serial Number 

  3. Power (W) 

  4. Energy (kWh) 

  5. State of Charge (%)

New features for homeowners

Four new features that make Enphase Storage simple and easy to use for homeowners.

1. Text message notifications

   Homeowners will receive alerts via text message when the grid goes down or comes back up. That means that they can swing into action just in time to ensure Enphase Storage does not run out on them.

2. Enhanced app menu

   The Enlighten Menu has a new tile layout that helps homeowners find what they need quickly. We've also simplified the navigation by reducing the options under each menu item.

3. Battery prioritization  

   During peak hours, homeowners can now prioritize the battery as a first choice, solar as the second choice, and the grid as the third choice. Any excess solar not used by the home gets exported to the grid.

4. Redesigned email notifications   

   New emails notify homeowners of a system error or alert and a lot more. They get recommendations, updates on exciting discussions in the Enphase Community, metrics such as site ID, and links to support, all in one email.
