Compliance
CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SB), UL 62109-1,
UL1741/IEEE1547, FCC Part 15 Class B, ICES-0003
Class B, CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 107.1-01
This product is UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down
Equipment and conforms with NEC 2014, NEC 2017,
and NEC 2020 section 690.12 and C22.1-2018 Rule
64-218 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems, for AC and
DC conductors, when installed according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Grounding
The DC circuit meets the requirements for ungrounded
PV arrays in NEC. Ground fault protection (GFP) is
integrated into the class II double insulated
microinverter
Monitoring
Enphase Installer Platform and Enphase App
monitoring options. Both options require an Enphase
IQ Gateway
Communication
Power line communication (PLC)
(1) No enforced DC/AC ratio. See the compatibility calculator at https://link.enphase.com/module-compatibility (2) Nominal voltage range can
be extended beyond nominal if required by the utility. (3) Limits may vary. Refer to local requirements to define the number of microinverters per
branch in your area.
