Enphase Energy Launches Powerful New IQ8 Microinverter Series

Enphase Energy introduced the world to microinverters. Unlike string inverters, these devices are attached underneath every panel, delivering higher efficiency and reliability.

Now, Enphase has launched its new and powerful IQ8 Microinverter series in India. This range is ideal for high-power solar modules. Let’s discuss the specifics of the IQ8HC and IQ8P microinverters and understand what makes them stand out in the solar market.

Enphase has launched two new microinverters in India- IQ8HC and IQ8P. These are high-powered smart grid-ready devices that are ideal for the latest high-output modules in the market.

The new range has higher efficiency and can accommodate more devices in a single string. They are also extremely lightweight and compact, leading to faster and easier installation.

The IQ8 microinverters undergo more than 1 million cumulative hours of testing to deliver the best performance and highest standards of reliability.

• High inverter efficiency up to 97.7%
• Supports the latest high-current PV modules with up to 670 Wp rating
• Equipped with patented burst mode technology that results in higher output
• Ensures low voltage DC power over the roof and rapid shutdown technology for maximum safety
• Easy to install and commission because of the MC4 connectors.
• New integrated circuit technology which ensures faster firmware updates

As per Enphase’s safety instructions and warranty guidelines, you will have to install IQ Relay and IQ Gateway with your microinverters.

IQ relay is a grid monitoring and disconnection device. The moment it senses fluctuations in grid voltage, frequency, or phase loss, it automatically shuts down all the microinverters. This step ensures higher safety and reliability of your PV system. When the grid conditions return to normal, the IQ relay reconnects the PV system.

This device must be installed with all single and three-phase microinverters to avail the limited warranty.

Another important component of the Enphase system is the IQ Gateway. The device collects all solar generation and consumption data from the microinverters and communicates it to the Enphase Installer Portal. It helps in remote monitoring and troubleshooting minor issues right from the app.

Established in 2006, US-based Enphase Energy designs, develops, and delivers clean energy solutions.

Enphase has shipped over 68 million microinverters worldwide and over 3.5 million energy systems in more than 145 countries. It is now the top brand when it comes to this technology.

Enphase microinverters offer many advantages:

• Enphase devices are Plug and Play systems and require no mechanical connections
• The systems are equipped with IP67 protection, which offers more safety and reliability against water and dust
• Enphase microinverters are 1-in-1-out systems. This means that a microinverter gets attached under every panel, lowering the chances of system failure.
• The devices can withstand temperatures as high as 65°C and as low as -40°C.
• The company also offers 24×7 customer service and readily replaces your device with a new one in case of a fault.
