FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, announced today that it is expanding its support for grid services programs – or virtual power plants (VPPs) – in Puerto Rico, Colorado, and Nova Scotia, Canada, powered by the IQ® Battery 5P.
Grid services programs are offered by electric utilities and often use energy stored in home batteries to help reduce load on the electric grid when it is needed most, like during periods of peak electricity demand. This reduces reliance on costly and polluting power plants for electricity and, in return, can provide incentives to homeowners from their utility company. Incentives may be provided as a discount on the purchase of an Enphase® Energy System with IQ® Batteries or as ongoing payments to participating homeowners. Homeowners are most recently eligible to enroll in the following programs:
LUMA Energy Puerto Rico Customer Battery Energy Sharing Program: Participants in Puerto Rico enrolled in this program with three IQ Battery 5Ps are eligible to receive approximately

“This program is a fantastic opportunity for Colorado homeowners to maximize the value of their Enphase IQ Batteries,” said Kevin Love, co-owner of Atlasta Solar Center, an installer of Enphase products based in Colorado. “Participants can earn meaningful incentives while supporting a more resilient and sustainable energy grid. It’s a win for both customers and our clean energy transition.”
Efficiency Nova Scotia Eco Shift Pilot: Participants enrolled in this pilot are rewarded with
“The Eco Shift program is a fantastic opportunity for Canadian homeowners to make the most of their Enphase home solar and battery systems while contributing to grid stability and efficiency,” said Tom Rendle, managing director at Watts Up Solar, an installer of Enphase products based in Nova Scotia. “As electrification increases and demand on the grid grows, we’re excited to expand deployments of IQ Batteries to support powering homes and a more resilient energy future for the community at large.”
“Our cutting-edge solutions make it easy for homeowners to engage in grid services programs while maximizing the benefits of their Enphase systems,” said Ken Fong, senior vice president and general manager of the Americas and APAC Sales at Enphase Energy. “The IQ Battery 5P’s reliability and performance are key to providing homeowners with long-term value, and we’re excited to expand our efforts to support virtual power plants, offering a cleaner, more resilient energy future across North America.”
