Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced a collaboration with Ensol, a French residential solar and storage provider, to expand home battery deployments through a subscription program starting at €30 per month.

The program allows French homeowners to access Enphase's IQ Battery 5P system through monthly subscriptions that include installation, monitoring, maintenance, and a 15-year warranty. Beginning in the third year, subscribers can continue the subscription, purchase the battery at residual value, or exit the program.

Ensol will aggregate enrolled batteries into a virtual power plant that participates in demand response programs through Réseau de Transport d'Électricité, France's transmission system operator. The company states this participation reduces monthly costs for homeowners.

The IQ Battery 5P offers 5 kWh of usable capacity and can scale up to 70 kWh. The system supports both single-phase and three-phase electrical configurations for residential installations in France.

"France has millions of solar homes that are ready for storage, but upfront cost has often been the biggest barrier," said Sabbas Daniel, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy. "Ensol's subscription model helps remove that barrier."

Enphase plans to conduct homeowner engagement events in 2026 in France and the Netherlands to promote battery adoption among existing solar system owners. The company expects to host hundreds of in-person events targeting solar-only homeowners who have not added battery storage.
