Enphase
Enphase Microinverters know the truth about solar arrays; while the solar panels get all of the visibility, and therefore glory, it is the inverters that do the real work. Higher production of solar energy, excellent reliability, and unmatched powerful technology intelligence are the hallmarks of Enphase Microinverters. Enphase is obsessed with quality; their microinverters undergo rigorous product testing and they have the highest industry warranties of 25-years. Their microinverters are flexible so will fit your solar array design today, and expand it as your power needs evolve.
Enphase IQ7 and IQ8 Series are the top of the line microinverters. They are used in both residential and commercial solar arrays. Following is a few key technical specifications for the inverters:
- Project Voltage - 120/240Vac or 120/208Vac single-phase (1φ)
- Solar Module Input Power - 235 watts to 540+ watts DC
- Module Compatibility - 60, 72, 96, 120, 132 and 144-cell modules

Enphase IQ8 Micro-Inverter Pairing Guide for Solar Modules
The IQ8 micro-Inverter family works on-grid or as an off-grid backup power source with the Encharge lithium battery. The IQ8 micros can deliver solar power to charge batteries even when the utility grid is not available and the sun is shining. Enphase IQ8 microinverters are grid-forming when installed with the IQ Controller Smart Switch to instantly transfer power to Enphase batteries. This creates a micro-grid that can power your property when the utility is down.
This guide will help you choose the correct Enphase IQ8 microinverters to match with your solar panels.
