Cut the peaks that inflate your power bill.
The Enphase IQ Vault 80 brings 80 kWh of modular, AC-coupled storage to Nova Scotia business. Built for demand charge management, grid services, and backup, with or without solar panels.
Demand Charge Shaving.
Commercial power bills aren't just about how much energy you use. They're about how hard you pull it. Nova Scotia Power meters your highest 15-minute demand spike each month and bills you for it, every kilowatt, whether that peak lasted an afternoon or a moment.
A battery flattens that spike. The IQ Vault 80 discharges the instant your load surges, so the grid never sees your peak. Your demand charge drops to the smoothed profile the battery leaves behind, and that saving lands on every bill for the life of the system.
At this scale, it's often the single largest line item a commercial storage system pays back, before you count time-of-use arbitrage, grid services revenue, or backup value.
Storage First. Solar When You're Ready.
Because the IQ Vault 80 is AC-coupled, it doesn't need solar panels to earn its keep. Install it as a standalone asset purely to shave demand charges and arbitrage time-of-use rates, then add PV later without touching the battery.
- Works on any commercial service, solar or not
- Charge from the grid during off-peak, discharge at peak
- Layer in Enphase microinverter PV whenever it suits your budget
- One monitoring platform whether you have panels or not
The Enphase IQ Vault 80.
Commercial-grade energy storage, engineered and manufactured in the U.S.
Pre-Assembled, AC-Coupled, Ready to Commission.
The IQ Vault 80 arrives as a complete, factory-assembled 80 kWh block. Simplified AC conductor connections mean less on-site labour and lower installation complexity than traditional DC-coupled commercial storage. It's the same clean architecture that makes Enphase microinverters the standard we install.
- 80 kWh usable, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry
- Fully integrated, AC-coupled system
- Modular design scales to multi-MWh deployments
- Battery module-level smoke sensing
- Aerosol-based fire suppression built in
- Designed and manufactured in the U.S.
- 15-year warranty, or 7,000 cycles
Five Jobs, One Battery.
Demand Charge Shaving
Discharge into your load's highest spikes so the grid never meters your peak. Usually the biggest single saving.
Time-of-Use Arbitrage
Store energy when rates are low and use it when they're high, smoothing your cost of power across the day.
Self-Consumption
Capture surplus solar production and deploy it after the sun goes down instead of exporting it for less.
Grid Services
Participate in demand-response and virtual power plant programs, the same Enphase grid services we already run in NS.
Emergency Backup
Keep critical loads running through an outage, protecting operations, inventory, and revenue when the grid goes down.
Safety Engineered In, Not Bolted On.
Every IQ Vault 80 includes battery module-level smoke sensing and aerosol-based fire suppression, backed by the stable, non-combustible chemistry of lithium iron phosphate. Commercial storage you can put next to your operation with confidence.
Storage Qualifies for the Clean Technology ITC.
Standalone commercial battery storage is eligible for the same investment tax credits as commercial solar. Combined with demand charge savings, that shortens the payback on an IQ Vault 80 considerably.
