Details
Enphase's 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-based microinverter is their proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built-in advanced 55nm technology with high-speed digital logic and has super-fast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.
Part of the Enphase Energy System, IQ8+ Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring and analysis software.
IQ8+ Microinverters redefine reliability standards with more than one million cumulative hours of power-on testing, enabling an industry-leading limited warranty of up to 25 years.
Connect PV modules quickly and easily to IQ8+ Microinverters using the included Q-DCC-2 adapter cable with plug-n-play MC4 connectors.
IQ8+ Microinverters are UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conform with various regulations, when installed according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Easy to install
• Lightweight and compact with plug-n-play connectors
• Power Line Communication (PLC) between components
• Faster installation with simple two-wire cabling
High productivity and reliability
• Produce power even when the grid is down
• More than one million cumulative hours of testing
• Class II double-insulated enclosure
• Optimized for the latest high-powered PV modules
Grid-forming
• Complies with the latest advanced grid support
• Remote automatic updates for the latest grid requirements
• Configurable to support a wide range of grid profiles
• Meets CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SA) requirements
Features
