1. AI Optimization profile is now available

   The app now supports the AI Optimization profile for systems with third-party inverters and IQ Batteries. This profile maximizes financial savings based on electricity rates, consumption patterns, and expected solar production. AI Optimization should be selected if the user’s main energy goal is saving more money on utility bills. This feature will be slowly rolled out to users.

For ţţËã·¨ App users on dynamic tariffs in Belgium, Germany, and Netherlands:

1. New video tutorial on system profiles

   A new video tutorial on system profiles is now available in the app. Go to Menu > Settings > Profile to watch.

What’s new

For ţţËã·¨ App users with IQ Batteries:

1. Option to opt out of ongoing storm alerts

   You will now be able to Opt Out of individual storm alerts without disabling the Storm Guard feature. 

   
    

   You can also navigate to Menu > Settings > Profile > Storm Guard to opt out of ongoing alerts.  

   
    

   • When a storm alert is issued, you can opt out if you so choose.  
   • If you opt out, your system profile will be immediately restored to its previous profile.  
   • Opting out of a storm alert allows your battery to continue discharging to support home loads if you feel discharging is more important than preparing the battery for a potential grid outage.  
   • After opting out from an ongoing alert, you have an option to Opt In again from the Storm Guard ±è²¹²µ±ð. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

2. Storm Guard auto-activation for critical alerts  

   To safeguard your system from blackouts caused by battery depletion, Storm Guard will be automatically activated for critical alerts that have a high chance of causing grid outages.  

   This activation will occur even if the Storm Guard feature had been previously disabled in the app. If Storm Guard is disabled, it will only be activated for the duration of the critical alert. The Opt Out option is not available for critical alerts. 

   

What’s fixed

• Resolved a delay issue in storm alert activation and deactivation for IQ Battery sites in the United States.
• Fixed Event History messaging for storm alerts with a missing end time.
• Corrected the Energy page tags to display correct alert names when multiple alerts are active on the system.

• [For NEM 3.0 users] Addressed issues where the user’s selection for the Discharge battery to the grid state was not being honored.  
   

What’s new

For all installers:

1. Consumption meter validation 
    
   • While enabling a consumption meter, the ţţËã·¨ Installer App will check if the production readings are captured correctly in the production meter for different consumption meter locations (Load with solar or Load only).
   • If a wiring error is detected, installers will be blocked from enabling the consumption meter and instructed to fix the error.
2. Ability to enable consumption meters in low light conditions 
    
   • Installers will be allowed to enable consumption meters even in low light conditions with low solar power production.
3. Production meters cannot be enabled with erroneous phase configuration  
    
   • Installers will be blocked from enabling a production meter when they mistakenly select a three-phase site configuration as single-phase instead of three-phase. 

For installers in the United States commissioning Off-Grid only sites: 

1. ţţËã·¨ Installer App now allows Off-Grid only commissioning 
    
   • Installers will be allowed to commission Off-Grid ţţËã·¨ Systems.  
   • Installers are required to complete training to perform the wiring and commissioning of Off-Grid configurations. Click to access the required training  
   • Learn more about the ţţËã·¨ Off-Grid offering for homeowners who want a clean, resilient, and self-sufficient grid-independent energy supply.

For installers in Europe commissioning IQ Energy Routers:  
 

1. IQ Energy Router improvements 
    
   • The ţţËã·¨ Installer App will automatically establish communication between the IQ Energy Router and the IQ Gateway when an old IQ Gateway is replaced with a new IQ Gateway.
