Enphase newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry's first grid forming microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor base microinverter is enphase's propriety application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off grid modes. This chip is built in advance 55nm technology with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times to changing loads and grid events. alleviation constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.
