Overview
The Enphase IQ Battery 10C is the flagship 4th-generation all-in-one AC-coupled energy storage system from Enphase. With four embedded IQ8BL grid-forming microinverters, it delivers 7.08 kVA of continuous power and 10.0 kWh of usable energy in a single, compact wall-mountable unit. The 10C represents Enphase’s most advanced battery yet, with up to 34% greater energy density than its predecessor.
Designed as a drop-in solution for homeowners who want serious storage capacity without stacking multiple units, the IQ Battery 10C simplifies installation while maintaining the distributed microinverter philosophy that makes Enphase systems so reliable. Each battery operates independently, and you can still scale your system by adding additional 10C or 5P units as your energy needs grow.
Key Features
4th-Generation Architecture: Built on Enphase’s 4th-generation Energy System platform, featuring fewer components, smarter integration, and streamlined installation with built-in neutral-forming microinverters.
Higher Energy Density: Up to 34% greater energy density than previous generations, packing 10 kWh into a compact footprint smaller than two stacked 5P units.
Embedded Microinverters: Four IQ8BL grid-forming microinverters per battery enable reliable backup power and can be field-replaced individually.
LFP Battery Chemistry: Cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells provide superior thermal stability and safety, evaluated to UL 9540A for large-scale fire testing.
15-Year Warranty: Industry-leading warranty covers more than 60% capacity retention for 15 years or 6,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
Power Start Technology: Can handle motor startup surges up to 90 A LRA, capable of starting heavy essential appliances during a power outage.
Enphase App: Monitor your solar production, battery status, and home energy consumption in real time. Storm Guard automatically charges your battery when severe weather is forecast.
PowerMatch Technology: Automatically adjusts to changing energy demand by activating only the microinverters needed, delivering higher efficiency and more savings.
