IQ8 and IQ8+ Microinverters
Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s rst microgrid-forming, software-
dened microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC
power to AC power eciently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter
is our proprietary application-specic integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the
microinverter to operate in grid-tied or o-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced
55nm technology with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times
to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home
energy systems.
Part of the Enphase Energy System, IQ8 Series
Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery,
Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring
and analysis software.
IQ8 Series Microinverters redene reliability
standards with more than one million cumulative
hours of power-on testing, enabling an industry-
leading limited warranty of up to 25 years.
Connect PV modules quickly and easily to IQ8 Series
Microinverters using the included Q-DCC-2 adapter
cable with plug-n-play MC4 connectors.
IQ8 Series Microinverters are UL Listed as
PVRapid Shut Down Equipment and conform with
various regulations, when installed according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
