There are, and always will be, observations to be made about that company and its founders. The reality of the Powerwall (along with the accompanying Gateway) is that it's without a doubt a cutting edge product and has NO peer at present in terms of what it provides to the homeowner. Not only am

Enphase will release a new off-grid battery in December that will be half the price of the current battery, don't buy anything from them before then. Look at Pika Energy. We are installers and they just got acquired by Generac, we're Generac dealers also so it comes under one roof for us. The Pika

I think they're only selling the Enphase AC battery in Australia currently but from what I understand they're phasing that product out in favor of the Ensemble (IQ8) battery system that is schedule to come out later in the year. You can get info about it on their website if you search Ensemble. It

Most people I have communicated with say the Tesla battery solution is extremely hard to obtain, and there are other options out there.  Tesla never responded to any of my inquiries. Does Enphase even have a battery option that they sell?   My vendor says no, yet that seem to surprise the

Uh, Looking at what is happening with Tesla's share price, I am not sure I would want to be "investing" in the products of the neglected solar division. With Elon alone at the wheel , the Powerwall et. al. might go the way of the Dodo before too long. I have been working lately with folks who

No, we haven't done any zero export. I guess both the Powerwall and Enphase systems would need to be independently programmed for zero export? I should add a caveat - all of our IQ7 systems have been the SunPower branded Equinox type, not Enphase. The main difference being that Enphase would use

Hi Marco - We have dozens of systems with this combo, so far no problem. Tesla's AC coupling mechanism in general seems to be very robust - we've paired them with many inverter types and brands, and they always seem to couple up during our grid-off tests. Since the vast majority of our systems are
