Ephase IQ8-60-2-US Microinverter 240V 60 Cell
- Description
Enphase's newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s first grid-forming microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter is a proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced 55nm technology with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.
The IQ8 micro inverters from Enphase are designed to handle 235 to 350 watt solar panels. The IQ8 is compatible with 60-cell solar panels. 240 Split Phase ONLY
IQ8 Series Microinverters are UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conform with various regulations, when installed according to manufacturer’s instructions.
