How It Works

Enphase IQ8+ is installed behind each panel in the system, which enables them to function independently. Since every single panel is connected to its own microinverter unit, power production in the system is significantly efficient. It requires Envoy gateway to function.

Green-performance-icon

Performance

Enphase IQ 8+ microinverter reaches the highest efficiency at 96.5 percent and can increase your energy production by seven percent on average.

monitoring

Monitoring

A software application Enphase Enlighten (available for Android, iOS, and desktop platforms) provides you visibility into the performance of your microinverter and each individual module in the system.

Reliability

Reliability

Enphase IQ 8+ has undergone accumulated power-on testing of one million hours, which makes it one of the most durable solar inverters in the market.

Key Features

Black-LIne

Optimized for solar panels of up to 440W with 60 /72 cells.

Casing protection class II with double insulation

Backup capability for both retrofit and new solar customers

Quicker installation thanks to plug-and-play components

Shading on one panel won’t affect the efficiency of other panels

Work more efficiently than their competitors in heavy shading conditions.

The lowest lifetime energy costs

Reduced risk of dangerous emergencies thanks to the independence of all the microinverters

Ready for Smart Grids

Higher risk of failure than string inverters due to multiple microinverters.

Higher cost per watt

Much more reliable than string inverters thanks to their decentralized power topology, which ensures that, if one microinverter fails, the production of the other panels does not affect.

Enhanced Power Harvesting From Your Solar

Enphase Invertor IQ 8+ is the Smartest Way to Go

Enphase IQ8+ microinverter hold a clear advantage over other solar inverters in the market. It helps you easily control and track the performance of each solar panel and optimize each of them for maximum output.  Whether you are a new and retrofit solar customer, Enphase IQ8+ is a smart and intelligent choice.
