Enphase Energy will soon release IQ Air, a smart thermostat with an in-home power display that in addition to temperature controls will show solar production, battery performance and home power use for homeowners.

IQ Air is designed to optimize HVAC operation with awareness of solar production, battery state of charge, time-of-use rates, weather forecasts and virtual power plant events. The thermostat can also support multiple HVAC zones, with temperature controls for those separate zones. It’s compatible with 24-V HVAC systems and can be installed by homeowners, with guided commissioning through the Enphase app.
“We can put IQ Air on the wall during the site survey, before a single panel goes up and homeowners can be engaged with their Enphase system on day one,” said Jeremy Jones, managing director at Evolved Energy. “It wires up in about 10 minutes a zone, with the app walking us through every step and it gives us a reason to go back to every customer we’ve ever installed for and talk batteries, EV chargers, and expansions.”
The IQ Air smart thermostat is available for pre-order online and through Enphase distribution partners, with shipments expected to begin in August 2026.
“IQ Air brings Enphase intelligence to one of the most familiar control points in the home,” said Ravi Pervela, senior VP of cloud, security and HEMS at Enphase Energy. “Homeowners can manage comfort, view live power flow at the wall, and use the Enphase App for broader control across solar, batteries, rates, and grid programs.”
