Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System

Make, use, save, and sell your own power with the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System for complete home energy.

With microinverters, you can choose where to place your solar panels, and a UL 9540A safety rating provides the flexibility to install batteries indoors or out. As your energy needs grow, the modular design of an Enphase system allows you to easily add more solar, batteries, and even EV charging

Microgrid-forming technology provides sunlight backup during outages, and IQ8’s super-fast response times remove Enphase battery sizing limitations.

With the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System you are accessing proven technology with 8 generations of microinverters developed over 16 years!

By eliminating parts that are known to break, like fans, Enphase has achieved a microinverter failure rate of just 0.05%.

There are currently over 4 million Enphase IQ8 Microinverter system now deployed and supported by industry leading warranties:

• 25-year microinverter warranty
• 15-year battery warranty
• 5-year EV charger warranty

Achieve greater energy resilience with no single point of failure- Enphase uses a network of microinverters on the roof, and in every battery, that work in parallel to keep your system up and running even if a microinverter fails.

Other systems with a single string inverter will shut down completely if the inverter fails, including solar generation and all battery functionality.

Enphase systems are based on AC power, just like the rest of your home, so you never have to worry about the risk of DC arc fault fires.

Enphase batteries are made with cobalt-free LFP chemistry that outperforms other battery technology at high temperatures, reducing the chance of thermal runaway fires.

Safest design with integrated enhanced safety rapid shutdown capability.

With the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System you get 5% to 15% more energy production than equivalent-size string inverter systems, which are limited by the lowest-producing panel.

The Enphase microinverter under each panel operates independently and can capture more energy in shaded or low-light conditions.

• 23% more total power with IQ8A Microinverters than an equivalent-sized system with string inverter, or 19% more total AC power with IQ8M Microinverters1
• More energy produced in partially shaded settings
• Per-module conversion means less degradation and more energy over time
• More power from independent microinverters under each panel and  multiple microinverters in each battery
• Lowest defect rates- 0.05% microinverter failure rate; approximately 1 in 2,000
• No single point of failure; if one microinverter fails, the system keeps producing energy
• No moving parts

In the unlikely event something breaks, the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System is designed to be serviced immediately by your installer on-site and with minimal system downtime. The Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System is also covered by industry leading warranties along with the following:

• 24/7 phone customer support with wait times under 2 minutes
• In-person field service technicians
• Easy repairs with Field-replaceable microinverters and boards
• Seed stock for quick RMAs

For additional support, Enphase can also deploy field technicians that will come to your home to troubleshoot and resolve any issues with your Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System.

The Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System enables backup power when the sun is up, even without a battery, and eliminates battery sizing restrictions to make Enphase battery ownership possible for millions more homeowners.

Seamless switching on or off grid. IQ8, our most powerful software- defined microinverter ever, is powered by a proprietary, intelligent chip, that makes switching between on or off grid virtually seamless.

Sunlight Backup- an industry first. With IQ8, power essential appliances- lights, fans, and phones- during daytime outages, even without a home battery.

More power to your home. In an outage, other energy systems limit the amount of energy you can produce based on battery capacity. With the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System, produce as much solar energy as you can make, regardless of battery size, maximizing your investment in solar.

Future proof your investment. With IQ8 at the core, Enphase Energy Systems are flexible and scalable. Start with an IQ8 solar-only system and add Enphase batteries and an IQ Load Controller as energy needs grow for resiliency.

More power per square foot. Our highest-output microinverters ever, the Enphase IQ8 Microinverter System packs more power into less space than other rooftop solar systems.

The IQ Battery: It shines when the sun sets!

Store solar power to use anytime– at night or during peak hours to reduce energy bills or when there’s an outage and utility power is unavailable.

Designed for maximum safety. Enphase batteries use multiple IQ8 microinverters- the same as used in their solar products- so your power keeps flowing. By using lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry, Enphase puts safety first where it matters most- your home. Enphase IQ battery operates at low-voltage DC power, avoiding the dangers that come with high-voltage DC power.

Perfect size, perfect fit. IQ Batteries come in two capacities to provide the most flexibility when designing your storage needs- and each are available in two sizes to fit any space.

Smart backup with or without the grid. In the event of a grid outage, our Power StartTM technology can intelligently provide enough surge power to smoothly start power-hungry appliances.
