Summary:
1. More compact, with over a 38% reduction in weight
2. Compatibility with higher wattage solar panels and an increased power output
3. Along with the reduced weight, there’s a reduction in parts needed for production (338 in the Enphase IQ7 vs 364 in the Enphase IQ6), which should hopefully translate to more competitive pricing
