Industry-leading IQ8 microinverters with 25-year warranty and grid-forming technology
Enphase Energy revolutionizes solar power conversion with the industry's first microgrid-forming*, software-defined microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. As the global leader in microinverter technology, Enphase has delivered over 50 million microinverters worldwide, setting new standards for residential and commercial solar installations.
IQ8 Series Microinverters redefine reliability standards with more than one million cumulative hours of power-on testing, enabling an industry-leading limited warranty of up to 25 years. This comprehensive testing program demonstrates Enphase's commitment to long-term performance and customer satisfaction.
Part of the Enphase Energy System, IQ8 Series Microinverters integrate with the IQ Battery, IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring and analysis software, creating a complete energy management ecosystem for modern homes.
This technology allows your solar system to form a microgrid and continue providing power during daylight hours even when the utility grid is down—without requiring battery storage. This breakthrough capability enables solar systems to continue producing power even when the electrical grid is down, without requiring large battery systems.
The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter is our proprietary application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This intelligent switching capability represents a significant advancement over traditional string inverter systems.
This chip is built in advanced 55 nm technology with high-speed digital logic and has superfast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems. This cutting-edge semiconductor technology ensures optimal performance across varying environmental conditions.
The advanced ASIC technology enables high-speed digital logic and rapid response to changing loads and grid events, making IQ8 microinverters ideal for modern smart grid applications and dynamic energy management.
The Enphase IQ8-60-2-US microinverter supports 60-cell solar panels up to 350 Watts DC, making it perfect for residential installations with standard-sized solar modules. This model offers 245VA peak output power and integrates seamlessly with most residential solar panel configurations.
The IQ8 microinverters are specifically designed as grid-forming microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. With 300VA peak output power, the IQ8 model accommodates higher-wattage solar panels up to 440W DC input.
The IQ8M variant offers enhanced input power and peak output specifications compared to the standard IQ8 model, supporting the latest high-power solar panels with advanced cell technologies including 80-half-cell, 88-half-cell, and 96-cell configurations.
Connect PV modules quickly and easily to the IQ8 Series Microinverters that have integrated MC4 connectors, streamlining the installation process and reducing labor costs for solar contractors.

The IQ7s have been a huge hit because of their reliability, ease of install and durability. The IQ8s reap all the benefits of the IQ7, but with a speed that's a thousand times faster.
— Spencer Rosen, Regional Sales Manager at Enphase
I think it's the most technologically advanced inverter currently on the market. I see it as an ultimate solar inverter that's definitely worth every dollar!
— Verified Customer Review
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.
— Long-term Customer
