Architecture describes the product boundary. It is not a system design or an equipment-pairing decision.

Usable capacity

100% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 10 kWh in the scored configuration.

10 kWh usableScored configuration: IQBATTERY-10C-1P-NA.

No reserve is withheld at the stated depth of discharge.

At a sourced 100% depth of discharge the usable and nominal figures are the same number, so no separate nominal capacity is stated.

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.

Market context

Global evidencechange in the site menu

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. The score is anchored to the exact US 10C identity. IQ8BL and IQ8BN are embedded components; backup isolation and transition remain external system conditions. Scored model: IQBATTERY-10C-1P-NA · checked 2026-08-07. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-08-07

Strong evidence coverage

28 of 28 scored criteria link directly to a published source.

Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
