Enphase IQ8M Microinverter

Description

This newest line of IQ 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 Enphase's 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, the IQ8 series microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring and analysis software.

Features
  • Easy to Install  Lightweight and compact with plug-n-play connectors. Power Line Communication (PLC) between components. Faster installation with simple two-wire cabling.
  • Productive and Reliable  Produce power even when the grid is down. More than one million cumulative hours of testing. Class II double-insulated enclosure. Optimized for 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.

Mixing and Matching Microinverters

Yes, you can mix and match microinverters with and without integrated MC4 connectors as long as they belong to the same product line. For instance, an IQ7+ with an integrated MC4 connector can be combined with an IQ7+ using a Q-DCC-2 adapter.

When submitting permits, use “-x” in place of “-2” or “-M,” and specify:

Example: “Model Number: IQ7-60-x-US, where x = 2 or M” or “IQ8PLUS-72-x-US, where x = 2 or M.”

Permitting Recommendations for the IQ8 Series

When submitting permits and plan sets for the IQ8 Series, include additional models with an "or" clause. Examples:

  • IQ8M-72-x-US: Specify “IQ8M-72-x-US or IQ8MC-72-M-US.”
  • IQ8A-72-x-US: Specify “IQ8A-72-x-US or IQ8AC-72-M-US.”
