Details
Enphase's newest microinverters are the industry’s first microgrid-forming, software defined 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. The 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, IQ8M Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring and analysis software.
IQ8M 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 the IQ8 Series Microinverters that has Integrated MC4 connectors.
IQ8 Series 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 (only when installed with IQ System Controller 2, meets UL 1741)
• More than one million cumulative hours of testing
• Class II double-insulated enclosure
• Optimized for the latest high-powered PV modules
Microgrid-forming
• Complies with the latest advanced grid support (IQ8M and IQ8A support split phase, 240V installations only)
• Remote automatic updates for the latest grid requirements
• Configurable to support a wide range of grid profiles
• Meets CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SB) requirements
