Enphase Energy Opens Pre-Orders for IQ Air, a Smart Thermostat With Live Solar, Battery, and Home Power Display

About this update from Enphase Energy, Inc.

FREMONT, Calif., July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company, today opened pre-orders for IQ ® Air , a smart thermostat with an in-home power display for the Enphase® Energy System. IQ Air gives homeowners temperature control at the wall, real-time visibility into solar production, battery performance, and home power use, while the Enphase® App provides whole-home energy management. As homes add solar, batteries, and more dynamic electricity rates, the thermostat is becoming a more important point of interaction. IQ Air brings live home power information into that daily experience, helping homeowners see how comfort decisions relate to the rest of the home energy system. Heating and cooling are typically among the largest controllable loads in a home. IQ Air is designed to use AI and intelligent software controls to optimize HVAC operation with awareness of solar production, battery state of charge, time-of-use rates, weather forecasts, and virtual power plant (VPP) events. The thermostat display shows live solar production, battery activity, home load, and system status, while allowing temperature control from the wall. Based on Enphase modeling, these capabilities are designed to help homeowners save up to an additional $275 per year through time-of-use load shifting, utility demand response credits, HVAC optimization, and battery export optimization. Actual savings will depend on system configuration, climate, local programs, HVAC equipment, and utility rate structure. IQ Air supports homes with more than one HVAC zone. The IQ Air for primary zone control serves as the main in-home power display, showing live solar, battery, and home power while also controlling the temperature for that zone. IQ Air for secondary zone control can be added for additional HVAC zones, giving larger homes a consistent Enphase thermostat experience. IQ Air combines an HD color touchscreen, proximity sensing, auto-dimming, humidity and ventilation control, guided commissioning through the Enphase App, Wi-Fi, and a dedicated built-in cellular connection to the Enphase Cloud. It is designed to work with most 24 V HVAC systems and can typically be installed by homeowners or installers in about 10 minutes. For installers, IQ Air creates a visible entry point into the Enphase product platform. The primary unit gives customers an everyday view of system performance, while secondary units create an expansion path for larger homes and multi-zone HVAC systems.
