Energy tech company Enphase Energy has announced a partnership with NextEnergy, a renewable energy provider, and the launch of its IQ Battery 5P and IQ Energy Management software in the Netherlands.
The parternship is intended to help homeowners manage dynamic energy tariffs and maximize energy savings, the California-based technology company said Dec. 9.
“Enphase solar and battery systems, in collaboration with NextEnergy’s advanced energy programs, can use AI optimization to automatically direct electricity toward the home or export it to the grid with the goal of helping homeowners maximize financial returns,” Enphase said in a news release.
The collaboration between NextEnergy and Enphase enables owners of the IQ batteries to participate in NextEnergy’s dynamic tariff program and join the company’s virtual power plant to help manage grid imbalances and unlock further compensation, the release states.
“Our innovative solar and battery systems paired with NextEnergy’s revolutionary approach to providing energy offer a win for homeowners, the grid, and all ratepayers across the Netherlands,” said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy. “Together, we can help accelerate the clean energy transition.”
