Enphase Energy 235-350 W Microinverter IQ8M (MC4)
Optimize Your Solar Experience with Enphase Energy
Our newest IQ8M Microinverters are the industry's first grid-forming microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter is our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced 55 nm 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, IQ8M Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway, and the Enphase App monitoring and analysis software. IQ8M Microinverters redefine 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 IQ8M Microinverters using the included Q-DCC-2 adapter cable with plug-n-play MC4 connectors. IQ8M Microinverters are UL Listed as PV rapid shutdown equipment and conform with various regulations when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
