(NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today introduced IQ® Energy Management for Australia and New Zealand. The solution integrates with Enphase solar and IQ® Battery™ systems to enable intelligent management of variable electricity rates and select third-party electric water heaters and electric vehicle (EV) chargers.

These trends are fueling installer and homeowner demand for home storage systems – making solutions that help maximize battery value increasingly important. IQ Energy Management is enabled by the IQ® Energy Router™ suite of products, which integrate with leading electric water heaters and third-party EV chargers.
