            Enphase Energy IQ 8+ Microinverter

            The Enphase IQ System takes microinverter technology to the next level, offering the smartest and simplest inverter solution to date. Enphase Energys IQ 8+ Microinverter was designed for modern high powered solar modules and is compatible with 60-cell and 72-cell panels up to 440 watts. The smart grid ready IQ 8+ Microinverter is built on their Eighth-generation platform and achieves the highest efficiency for module-level power electronics while also reducing the installed cost per watt.
            Advanced Monitoring and Energy Storage Options
            Part of the Enphase IQ System, the IQ 8+ Microinverter integrates seamlessly with the Enphase IQ Gateway,
            Enphase IQ Battery, and the Enphase Enlighten
            monitoring and analysis software. System owners can easily monitor array performance via the wall-mounted IQ Envoy or from any internet-connected device. Enphase Energy continues to offer free monitoring for the lifetime of your solar system allowing you to keep track of production and troubleshoot any potential problems.

            Sunlight Backup with IQ8 series

            Enphase’s newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industrys first grid-forming microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. Load control is a mandatory component in any IQ8 Sunlight Backup system. This is a system with grid forming IQ8 Microinverters on the roof, and an IQ System Controller 2. The system does not have an IQ Battery but can remain powered during a grid outage using the IQ8 solar microinverters, if the sun is shining. In any Sunlight Backup system Enphase requires installers to ensure that there is an
            Essential Loads solution.
            An Essential Loads solution consists of:
             
            • An off-the-shelf panel with a maximum of four pre-selected, essential load circuits that
              are backed up by the system
            • Two IQ Load Controllers – Each IQ Load Controller can enable fine-grained,
              circuit-level control for 2x 240V loads or 4x 120V loads. The product is rated for
              dedicated loads up to 36A resistive/25A inductive or branch circuits with multiple
              loads up to 32A resistive/25A inductive. 

            Reliability Backed by a 25-year warranty

            The IQ System benefits from Enphases extensive experience in microinverter design. The IQ 8 series Microinverter are very reliable as they have
            fewer parts and have undergone over 1 million hours of testing.
            Enphase also provides an industry-leading 25 year warranty. The innovative design of Enphase microinverters makes them efficient, flexible and easy to install.
