Product Details

Enphase’s newest IQ8 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 a 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. Enjoy super-fast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.

Features

• Lightweight and compact with plug-and-play connectors
• Power Line Communication (PLC) between components
