Enphase IQ8X Microinverter

Upgrade your solar system with the latest in microinverter technology. The IQ8X is designed to support high-power PV modules, improve system flexibility, and deliver reliable performance under real-world conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Power Compatibility — Supports large solar modules including 80-cell, 88-cell, and 96-cell (half-cut) designs — ideal for modern high-output panels.

• Robust Output Ratings
   • Continuous AC output up to ~380 VA @ 240 V 
   • Peak output ~384 VA (surge)

• Wide Input Voltage Range — Accepts a broad DC voltage range (~55 V to ~80 V+ depending on model) to match modern PV panels. 

• High Efficiency — Efficiency ratings around 97.2 % help maximize energy yield. 

• Smart & Reliable Design — Built-in protection features (over-voltage, over-temperature, anti-islanding) and thermal management ensure long-term stability. 

• Long Warranty — Backed by a 25-year limited warranty in many markets. 

• Grid-Forming Capabilities — Enables backup power and grid-independent operation when paired with the right system components. 

Typical Specifications

Applications & Use Cases

• Residential Solar Systems — Ideal for pairing with high-wattage panels to reduce balance-of-system (BOS) costs.

• High-Yield Roof Installations — Suitable for areas with limited roof space where maximizing watt-per-panel is critical.

• Backup Power or Hybrid Systems — With grid-forming features (when supported by system components), IQ8X units can help maintain critical loads in outages.

• Scalable Solar Designs — Add modules and microinverters individually—no need to upsize a central inverter.
