Enphase IQ8 Series
Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s first microgrid-forming, software defined 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 using advanced 55 nm technology with high-speed digital logic and has superfast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.
Introduction
IQ8 Series microinverter are the industry's 1st split-phase, grid-forming solar microinverter. They are the safest and most efficient at converting DC to AC power.
