About product

To date, IQ8 is the smartest microinverter ever produced by Enphase. These are the first microinverters to possess grid-forming and split-phase conversion capabilities, which bring the efficiency of these devices to an entirely new level. Reliability has also been vastly improved. Enphase has conducted extensive power-on testing, exceeding 1 million cumulative hours. Now the company is offering a limited warranty of up to 25 years, which is one of the best in the industry.

The brain of the IQ8 is a powerful 55 nm chip. This proprietary solution enables the device to work both in grid-tie and off-grid modes. Record-breaking response times to shifting loads and other events eliminate some of the battery-sizing limitations, granting your PV system extra flexibility. IQ8 microinverters form part of the Enphase IQ family of devices. It means they can be easily integrated with the Battery, Gateway and Enphase App for performance-tracking and analysis.

The microinverters are sold with plug and play MC4 connectors, making the installation fast with little effort required. The devices are listed by UL as Rapid Shutdown Equipment. They also meet a number of important regulations, such as CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SA) requirements.

Picked the plus version for higher wattage panels. Very excited about their ability to operate off-grid, this is a very welcome feature in microinverters. The store processed my order very rapidly, this deserves a solid 5 star

I have 4 390w and 1 400w solar panel I’m thinking of adding the emphases q8 micro inverters, but I’m planing of expanding in the future, what combiner box do you recommend. For now I plan on using off grid to power my AC.

How do iq8 plus inverters work off grid

During an outage, the IQ8 will temporarily disconnect your solar panel system from the electric grid and continue to operate in off-grid mode, allowing you to generate and use solar power while the grid is down.
What’s the efficiency?

Peak efficiency of the IQ8+ is 97.6%.
Is it a good idea for really humid environments?

The allowed humidity range is 4% to 100% (condensing).
Are these less heavy than the previous generation?
