Enphase IQ8 Microinverters

The IQ8 Microinverter is the industry's first grid-forming microinverters that has the ability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. At the heart of Enphase's semiconductor is the cutting-edge proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This technology empowers the microinverter to seamlessly operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. Utilizing advanced 55nm technology, the ASIC features high-speed digital logic, ensuring rapid response times to changing loads and grid events. This not only enhances system performance, but also removes constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems. Setting a new benchmark for reliability, IQ8 Microinverters undergo rigorous testing, accumulating more than one million power-on hours. This exceptional performance allows us to offer an industry-leading limited warranty of up to 25 years!

Connection made easy

Some IQ8 Microinverters come with integrated MC4 connectors. This eliminates the need for adapter cables to maximize reliability with fewer connection points and faster installation. Be sure to know which model comes with the integrated MC4 connector and which model requires an adapter cable. Model numbers containing "2" will require the adapter cable. Model numbers beginning with "M" will include an integrated MC4 connection.

Constant Energy

There isn't a single point of failure. If a system with a central inverter fails, solar production will come to a halt. With one microinverter per module, solar generation continues even if a microinverter fails.

If a microinverter fails, the remaining microinverters will continue to produce energy.

If the central inverter fails, the system will cease to produce energy.

Maximum Energy

Each solar panel functions autonomously with IQ Microinverters, ensuring maximum power per module regardless of obstacles like leaves, dirt, snow, or cloudy days. In contrast, central inverter systems restrict their production to the least efficient module.

With microinverters, solar modules work independently. Energy production is not limited to the least efficient module.

With a central inverter, the energy production is dependent on the least efficient module.
