The Enphase Energy System now offers generator support through the IQ System Controller 3G. This integration allows you to seamlessly combine solar, storage, and a compatible generator for uninterrupted power during extended grid outages. Here are the key features:
AC Architecture: The Enphase system, powered by industry-leading microinverters, eliminates single points of failure. When connected to a generator, it ensures maximum power to your home.
No Power Loss: When your system goes off-grid or the battery charge is low, the generator kicks in without any interruption. You won’t experience power loss during critical moments.
Compatible Generators: The IQ System Controller 3G works with most AC generators installed in the United States. No external automatic transfer switch is needed. You can find a list of compatible generators in the forthcoming tech brief1.
Remote Control: Manage your generator remotely using the Enphase App. Start and stop the generator, view real-time power flow, schedule quiet time, and activate vacation mode—all from your smartphone.
Dedicated DER Port: The IQ System Controller 3G features a dedicated DER port specifically for connecting a generator. This port cannot be used for PV or battery connections.
If you’re considering adding a generator to your Enphase system, the IQ System Controller 3G is the way to go. For those planning to expand with extra batteries, the IQ System Controller 3 is a better fit12. Enjoy reliable power even during outages!
