Enphase IQ8 Microinverters
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.
