IQ7 Micro Installation

IQ 7 / IQ 7+ / IQ 7X Micro Installation and Operation

indicates that the PV module isn’t functioning correctly. If it stays in place, the problem is with

the original microinverter. Contact Enphase Customer Support for help in reading the

microinverter data and for help in obtaining a replacement microinverter, if needed.

M. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module. The connection

may need to be tightened or reseated. If the connection is worn or damaged, it may need

replacement.

N. Verify with your utility that line frequency is within range.

O. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at

enphase.com/en-us/support/contact.

Disconnect a Microinverter

If problems remain after following the troubleshooting steps listed previously, contact Enphase at

enphase.com/en-us/support/contact. If Enphase authorizes a replacement, follow the steps below. To

ensure the microinverter is not disconnected from the PV modules under load, follow the disconnection

steps in the order shown:

A. De-energize the AC branch circuit breaker.

B. Enphase AC connectors are tool-removable only. To disconnect the microinverter from the

Enphase Q Cable, insert the disconnect tool and remove the connector.

C. Cover the PV module with an opaque cover.

D. Using a clamp-on meter, verify there is no current flowing in the DC wires between the PV

module and the microinverter. If current is still flowing, check that you have completed steps

one and two above.

NOTE: Take care when measuring DC current as most clamp-on meters must be zeroed

first and tend to drift with time.

E. Disconnect the PV module DC wire connectors from the microinverter using the Enphase

disconnect tool.

F. If present, loosen and/or remove any bonding hardware.

G. Remove the microinverter from the PV racking.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Do not leave any connectors on the PV

system disconnected for an extended period. If you do not plan to replace the

microinverter immediately, you must cover any unused connector with a sealing cap.
