Off-Grid Solar

Here in Maine being off grid is a common want and need. A lot of Maine residents have second homes or camps across the state and going off-grid is a great option.

How it works

The IQ Bidirectional EV Charger goes beyond standard EV charging. It enables safe, reliable two-way power flow between the EV, home, and grid—sending power from the EV to the home during outages (V2H) and exporting from the EV to the grid when rates are high (V2G). Managed through the Enphase App, it intelligently switches between modes based on site conditions and homeowner preferences—turning the EV into a safe energy-sharing solution for the home.

Turn any EV into a power source

AC power flow between the charger and home ensures added safety, while DC power flow between the charger and EV maximizes efficiency. With integrated Black Start technology, the charger delivers uninterrupted backup even during full grid outages. Designed to ISO 15118 standards and integrated with our globally compatible micro inverters, the charger works with all bidirectional EV’s, all grid profiles, and all types of homes, offering a reliable, future-ready solution backed by a 10-year warranty.
