A NanoGrid is a home energy system designed to keep your property powered when the main grid goes down. It combines solar panels, batteries, and intelligent control to allow your home to operate independently during an outage.
How a NanoGrid works When a power cut occurs, the Enphase Gateway detects the loss of grid power in milliseconds and automatically isolates your home from the network. Your NanoGrid then supplies electricity using stored battery energy and, when available, solar generation during daylight hours.
The changeover is seamless and automatic. No switches. No intervention.
What can be powered A NanoGrid is typically designed to support essential circuits such as lighting, sockets, refrigeration and internet. Depending on battery capacity and system design, larger loads can also be included.
Every NanoGrid is tailored to how you live and what matters most in your home.
How long will it last? Backup duration depends on:
Battery capacity
Household energy demand
Solar generation during the outage
With solar contributing, a NanoGrid can significantly extend backup time and, in some cases, operate for prolonged periods.
Safety and compliance During an outage, the NanoGrid safely disconnects from the wider electricity network to protect utility workers and infrastructure. This happens automatically and in full compliance with grid regulations.
The takeaway A NanoGrid allows your home to keep running when the grid doesn’t. It’s not just backup power, it’s a small, self-contained energy system designed for resilience.
