IQ8 Series Microinverters <br />Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s first microgrid-forming, software- <br />defined microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC <br />power to AC power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter <br />is our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the <br />microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced <br />55nm technology with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times <br />to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home <br />energy systems. <br />Part of the Enphase Energy System, IQ8 Series <br />Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ <br />Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase <br />App monitoring and analysis software. <br />IQ8 Series Microinverters redefine reliability <br />standards with more than one million <br />cumulative hours of power-on testing, <br />enabling an industry-leading limited warranty <br />of up to 25 years. <br />Connect PV modules quickly and easily to <br />IQ8 Series Microinverters using the included <br />Q-DCC-2 adapter cable with plug-n-play MC4 <br />connectors. <br />IQ8 Series Microinverters are UL Listed as <br />PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conform <br />with various regulations, when installed <br />according to manufacturer’s instructions. <br />Easy to install <br />• Lightweight and compact with <br />plug-n-play connectors <br />• Power Line Communication <br />(PLC) between components <br />• Faster installation with simple <br />two-wire cabling <br />High productivity and reliability <br />• Produce power even when the <br />grid is down <br />• More than one million cumulative <br />hours of testing <br />• Class II double-insulated <br />enclosure <br />• Optimized for the latest high- <br />powered PV modules <br />Microgrid-forming <br />• Complies with the latest <br />advanced grid support <br />• Remote automatic updates for <br />the latest grid requirements <br />• Configurable to support a wide <br />range of grid profiles <br />• Meets CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SA) <br />requirements <br />© 202 2 Enphase Energy.
