Enphase IQ8 Microinverters

Solar Micro inverters & Battery Storage Systems by Enphase Energy.

Enphase's 8th-generation IQ 8 Microinverters are built using advanced 55nm technology chip. for The Enphase IQ8 Micro
inverter series are grid forming during a power outage and storage compatible.

Enphase IQ7 Microinverters

Solar Micro inverters & Battery Storage Systems by Enphase Energy.

Enphase's 7th-generation IQ 7 Microinverters are powered by a unique software-defined architecture for an even more
efficient design. The Enphase IQ7 Micro inverter series produces 4% more power, is 19% lighter and 17% smaller than
the IQ6 series microinverters.

IQ improves design flexibility

One of the inherent limitations of string inverter systems is the need to always complete a loop in the electrical design. With these DC power systems, there’s no opportunity to branch off to islanded arrays on complex rooftops or in response to on-the-fly design changes.

The field-wireable connectors in the IQ System allow for safe and simple connections from any open connector and the ability to center feed any section of cable up to a 20-amp limit allowing the system to be built as a tree with branches rather than a constricted linear design. The lighter two-wire Q Cable also makes it easier to handle wire management, whether that means fastening cable to rails or to the module frame using standard clips in a rail-less mounting system. To streamline the installation process even further, eliminating field wiring of the microinverter to the module, look for the introduction of Enphase Energized AC Modules from multiple partners at your distributor this summer.

IQ enables faster commissioning

A new generation of Line to Line power line communications made it possible to remove the neutral conductor from the Enphase cabling system and results in new Envoys and Combiners for the IQ System. This, along with new embedded software, results in a notable improvement in microinverter detection during commissioning.

All the process improvements in the IQ System build upon an industry-leading home energy solution that comes with built-in compliance for 2014 and 2017 NEC rapid shutdown requirements and advanced grid functionality that will be needed as utilities move to new standards this year. As grid conditions change, Enphase’s ability to report on each microinverter’s performance and remotely push firmware updates to the field will prevent the need for costly, time-consuming, and unnecessary truck rolls.

Enphase Microinverters have proven benefits over other technologies.

Higher production, best savings

Microinverters operate independently, so each solar panel performs to its fullest. One shaded or dirty panel won't affect the rest of the system. Burst technology lets microinverters produce more at dawn, dusk, and in low-light conditions. This allows for a longer solar day for a larger energy harvest.

More reliable

Because microinverters function independently, they are inherently more reliable. There is no single point of failure in an Enphase IQ Microinverter solar system.

If one solar panel fails, the other solar panels will continue to produce power. Enphase microinverters undergo the most rigorous product testing in the industry. Enphase stands by their products with the industry's highest warranties.

Safer than other inverter technologies

An all-AC system means no high-voltage DC power on your roof. Enphase Microinverters are commonly chosen for schools, since they meet even the strictest government safety requirements.

If a solar module is in the shade or temporarily covered with debris, the other modules will continue to provide power with an Enphase Microinverter grid-tie solar system.
