Enphase Energy Introduces IQ® Energy Management to Enhance Home Energy Efficiency in France
Enphase Energy, the world leader in microinverter-based solar and battery systems, has launched IQ® Energy Management in France. This cutting-edge solution integrates with Enphase’s solar and battery systems to enable homeowners to smartly manage their energy usage.
The system leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize electricity consumption by intelligently controlling appliances such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers, heat pumps, and electric water heaters, all through the Enphase® App.
A Solution for the Electrification Boom in France
With the rise of electrification in France, Enphase is stepping in to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient technologies. The country has seen a 400% increase in EV deployments since 2020 and aims to produce one million heat pumps by 2027.
Additionally, 40% of French households, or approximately 15 million homes, use electric water heaters, which can account for up to 20% of a home’s energy consumption.
IQ Energy Management is designed to help homeowners save money and maximize self-consumption by efficiently managing these high-energy-demand appliances. The system is composed of the IQ® Energy Router™ suite of products, which come with a 5-year warranty in France.
The solution is also compatible with leading third-party EV chargers, heat pumps, and resistive electric water heaters, making it a versatile choice for energy-conscious French homeowners.
Key Features and Benefits of IQ Energy Management
The IQ Energy Management system leverages AI to maximize household energy consumption, saving costs and increasing independence.
Combined with Enphase solar and batteries, it unlocks maximum solar power for loads such as EV chargers and heat pumps. Real-time control through the Enphase App improves self-consumption, resilience in energy, and flexibility in peak demand.
Ludovic Vallée, General Manager at Sun7, an installer of Enphase products, said: “Enphase’s IQ Energy Management is a smart solution for managing key home appliances more efficiently.”
He added, “It helps our customers maximize their solar energy use by intelligently managing EV chargers, heat pumps, and water heaters, ultimately helping users lower their energy costs and boosting energy independence.”
