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:
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.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.
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 updated list is more closely focused on the events that most commonly cause grid outages, thus improving the accuracy of Storm Guard activations.

What’s new
For all installers:
- With this release, the user experience has been revamped for a smoother installation and troubleshooting process.
- Read about what we changed, and why, in this article.
- Watch a showcase video about the updated app.
- Experience the new app before installing:
- Backup storage system commissioning
- Grid-tied storage system commissioning
- PV-only system commissioning
Rapid power production for IQ8 Microinverters
The app will now make initial IQ8 power production significantly faster (< 5 minutes) during commissioning.
Relaxing of cellular modem requirement for grid-tied storage systems
Installers will now be able to commission a grid-tied storage system without installing a cellular modem. However, it is still mandatory to install a cellular modem for backup storage systems.
Meter Wizard is now mandatory and Expert Mode has been removed
Installers are now required to use the Meter Wizard to enable Production and Consumption Current Transformers (CTs). This ensures correct wiring of the CTs and enables installers to avoid delays in completing installation. Additionally, the Expert Mode feature to bypass the Meter Wizard and enable the meters has now been removed.
Auto-start for battery firmware updates
For systems with batteries, the app will auto-start a firmware update (if available) after completion of Functional Validation.
Disabling production if permission to operate has not been granted
Installers can now indicate if the utility has permitted the operation of the system, and turn off solar production if permission has not been received. If the system includes IQ Batteries, the app will show instructions on how to turn off the batteries and disable production if the utility has not yet permitted operation.
Enphase Energy System with IQ Battery 5P:
Enphase Energy System with IQ Battery 3/3T/10/10T:
Enphase Energy System without batteries (PV-only):
Feedback after commissioning
Installers can now provide feedback at the end of commissioning to let Enphase know how satisfied they were with the commissioning experience, and how the experience could be improved.
Functional Validation is now mandatory
Installers will now be blocked from downloading the summary report for a system in AP mode or non-AP mode until Functional Validation has been completed.
Advising installers to avoid creating duplicate sites in the app
Installers often create duplicate sites—for example, during system expansion, storage addition, or when upgrading a site under the Legacy Product Upgrade Program (LPUP). When duplicate sites are merged by Enphase Support, at the system owner’s or installer’s behest, data from one of the sites is lost. The app now advises installers to avoid creating duplicate sites while entering system details.
For installers in Europe and the Middle East:
[Belgium and Netherlands] Installers in Belgium and Netherlands can now set Grid Interconnection Capacity, enabling the charge from grid feature.
- The app will block the installer and show an error if the production meter check in the Meter Wizard detects any battery activity captured by the production meter.
- The app will block the installer and show an error if one or more phase voltages are out of the operating range (20 V to 300 V).
