The IQ Battery 5P relies on a robust communication link with the Enphase Envoy to function correctly. If this link is interrupted, the system controller will trigger an offline status. This can occur due to various electrical conditions, including RISO (Insulation Resistance) measurements falling below acceptable thresholds, which indicate potential ground faults. The inverter may also trigger an offline condition if it detects grid frequency limits outside of operational parameters, causing the battery to shut down to protect its internal components.
Homeowners may notice that the Enphase IQ Battery 5P displays a solid red LED indicator, signifying the system controller is offline.
