IQ8SP-12A-DSH-00207-3.0-EN-US-2024-02-12 <br />DATA SHEET <br />IQ8 and IQ8+ Microinverters <br />Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s first microgrid-forming, software-defined <br />microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC <br />power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter is our proprietary <br />application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which enables the microinverter to operate in <br />grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built using advanced 55-nm technology with high-speed <br />digital logic and has superfast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating <br />constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems. <br />Easy to install <br />• Lightweight and compact with plug-and-play <br />connectors <br />• Power line communication (PLC) between <br />components <br />• Faster installation with simple two-wire <br />cabling <br />High productivity and reliability <br />• Produce power even when the grid is down* <br />• More than one million cumulative hours of <br />testing <br />• Class II double-insulated enclosure <br />• Optimized for the latest high-powered PV <br />modules <br />Microgrid-forming <br />• Compliant with the latest advanced grid <br />support** <br />• Remote automatic updates for the latest grid <br />requirements <br />• Configurable to support a wide range of grid <br />profiles <br />• Meets CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SA) and <br />IEEE 1547:2018 (UL 1741-SB) <br />NOTE: <br />• IQ8 Microinverters cannot be mixed with previous <br />generations of Enphase microinverters (IQ7 Series, IQ6 <br />Series, and so on) in the same system. <br />• IQ Microinverters ship with default settings that meet <br />North America’s IEEE 1547 interconnection standard <br />requirements. Region-specific adjustments may be <br />requested by an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) <br />or utility representative according to the IEEE 1547 <br />interconnection standard. An IQ Gateway is required to <br />make these changes during installation. <br />© 2024 Enphase Energy. All rights reserved.
