Enphase Energy Launches AI Assistant in the Enphase App, Bringing Agentic Intelligence to Home Energy Management

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company, today announced the availability of the Enphase^® AI Assistant in the Enphase^® App for homeowners. The assistant brings agentic AI into the home energy experience, helping customers understand what is happening in their Enphase systems, why it is happening, and what action, if any, they should take. Watch a video showcasing the Enphase AI Assistant here.

Home energy is becoming more dynamic as homeowners add solar, batteries, EV charging, time-of-use rates, backup power, and grid services. The Enphase AI Assistant is designed for this new reality as an intelligent energy companion. Using live system context, it can answer natural language questions, explain system behavior, guide troubleshooting, and help homeowners move from insight to action — through both the Enphase App and the Enphase Support website.

“Homeowners should not need to be energy experts to understand how their homes use energy,” said Nitish Mathur, SVP of customer experience at Enphase Energy. “The Enphase AI Assistant turns complex system data into clear, personalized guidance, helping customers understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what they can do next.”

Homeowners can ask questions such as: Why did my battery discharge overnight? Why did I export more energy than usual? Is my system operating normally? Why is my electricity bill higher than expected? The assistant answers by using site-specific context already visible in the Enphase App, including solar production, home consumption, battery charge and discharge, grid import and export, EV charging activity, gateway connectivity, device status, and alert information.

The Enphase AI Assistant is not a general-purpose chatbot. It is built as a governed AI layer for home energy, combining large language models, model routing, retrieval-augmented generation, tool orchestration, and Enphase-approved knowledge sources. The assistant can route simple status checks to faster model paths while using deeper reasoning for more complex questions such as battery behavior, system troubleshooting, and energy usage explanations.

The Enphase AI Assistant is built around a simple model: sense, explain, and act. It understands what is happening across the home, explains it in plain language, and with the homeowner’s approval can take supported actions. For app-based controls such as battery operating profiles, charge-from-grid settings, EV charging behavior, notification preferences, and report generation, any system-changing action requires explicit homeowner confirmation and internal validation before execution.

The launch marks an important evolution of the Enphase App — from a place where homeowners monitor their energy system to an intelligent interface that can understand, explain, and help manage the entire home energy experience.

Security, privacy, and AI governance are built into the assistant’s architecture, including persona-based access, tool-level filtering, action policies, audit logging, session context management, response quality evaluation, and safeguards for customer-specific data. These controls help the assistant deliver personalized guidance while respecting product permissions and backend systems of record.

When expert help is needed, the assistant can seamlessly hand the conversation to Enphase customer service with the relevant system context and conversation history, so customers do not have to start over.

The Enphase AI Assistant is now broadly available to homeowners in most markets through the Enphase App, with availability continuing to expand. Feature availability may vary by country, system type, installed products, app version, account permissions, and enabled feature flags.
