The assessment
How it scores, by category
Market position
The data
Capacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 10
No year-by-year capacity schedule is published for this product - the manufacturer guarantees only this end-of-term minimum, not a specific decline curve. Capacity figure based on the sourced usable capacity of the base configuration; modular systems scale with additional modules.
Blackout protection
81 / 100#4 of 28 batteriesGrid-forming (black-start)
The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.
Two things to check
Ask the installer: What usable capacity, backup power and warranted operating conditions will the installed IQ Battery 5P configuration deliver?
