Enphase Ensemble IQ8M Residential Microinverter Liquidation

This solution is a real game changer. It works like a hybrid inverter, forming a microgrid during a power outage. A1 still has the best prices, despite the high demand and chip shortage. Keep it up, guys!

Enphase Ensemble IQ8M Residential Microinverter Liquidation

The basic IQ8 wasn’t powerful enough for my panels, so I was advised to look into the IQ8M. They are the same thing, but the input power and peak output are different. Can’t wait to see them installed!

Enphase Ensemble IQ8M Residential Microinverter Liquidation

Have been waiting for the IQ8 ever since I heard about it back in 2017. Now the day has finally come. A1 didn’t make me wait longer than necessary, I just ordered a pick up and got the devices in a little over two days.

Enphase IQ8AC Microinverter IQ8AC-72-M-US

We already had a microinverter based system to begin with, but decided to replace them with this new model from Enphase due to frequent power outages. It was surely worth it! Can recommend to the people in the same situation

Have been buying Enphase microinverters almost from the moment they appeared on the market. Most of the first units are still in good working order. The IQ8 seems just as robust.

Enphase IQ8PLUS Microinverter IQ8PLUS-72-M-US

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

Enphase Ensemble IQ 8H Microinverter

It’s too soon to write a review, but so far the IQ8 looks great. The 25 year warranty is a huge advantage compared to the standard warranties for string inverters. I hope not to use it, but it gives some peace of mind

The staff of a1store recommended this model to me. To me these inverters feel very good so i’m satisfied. Also it was a pleasant surprise that the shop didn’t charge for delivery of those.

Enphase IQ Commercial Envoy 3-phase

This is a MUST for any solar panels that use Enphase microinverters. An expensive solar energy system should be continuously monitored for correct operation and ongoing maintenance. The Envoy is a very effective tool to check the condition of all microinverters used in the solar array. Highly recommended.

IQ Combiner 3 with Enphase IQ Envoy™

The material of the box is very durable. The components inside are protected from the elements and there is a specifically designed vent on the left side. The Envoy IQ is already installed, and all this for a reasonable price. I couldn’t have made a better purchase.

Enphase IQ7A Microinverter Residential

i actually used a standard inverter before, but it broke down eventually. This time i've chosen these things and they were so easy to install! Honestly, now i don’t even know why would you choose a string inverter when you can have a batch of microinverters.

When I made my purchase, I had a few questions, so I emailed customer service. They were so kind and understanding about my problems. I got a response very quickly and they just treat you like family. The value is extremely high due mainly to the quality of the product and the money I save on my energy bills each month.

Antonio S.

Since these keep producing when the grid is down, doesn't that back feed into the grid? How is this managed and avoidable?

A1 SolarStore

In this configuration, the Enphase Energy System provides all-day backup using IQ8 Series Microinverters and IQ Batteries. The system must have at least 10 kWh of IQ Batteries installed. Depending on the IQ Battery sizing, the system will be able to sustain off-grid operation for extended periods of time.

Stefan A Kendall

What is the best interface to use with this?

A1 SolarStore

It's recommended to use the official Enphase app: https://enphase.com/homeowners/enphase-app

Robert

03/11/2022

Can you hook these right in to your grid or already existing battery bank or do you have to have other items to complete installation

A1 SolarStore

Not really, solar panels with microinverters can be plugged directly into your grid or into battery bank, if it uses AC

Addison Kole

For how long do the UL listings last?

A1 SolarStore

UL listings normally last for ten years.

I’m new to microinverters, should they be connected in parallel or in series?

A1 SolarStore

Microinverters are usually connected in parallel.
