The Enphase IQ8-MC is one of the most recent models of the Enphase microinverters. This series has an exceptionally high efficiency that ensures maximum energy yield from solar panels. This generation of inverters is known for the highest energy production and reliability in the market.
A key feature of the Enphase IQ8 microinverters is the presence of integrated MC4 connectors, which allows easy and quick installation through a click & play system on the roof.
Rapid Shutdown function
The IQ8-MC microinverters have the Rapid Shutdown function, which means they meet the strictest safety standards. Unlike many string inverters, the IQ8-HC offers a built-in safety switch. The IQ8 microinverters meet the strictest safety standards in the event of fire.
In situations where the AC power source is interrupted, such as by an AC switch or outage, the IQ8-MC microinverter automatically activates the quick shutdown function.
Enphase IQ8 Burst Mode Technology
The IQ8 microinverters are also equipped with Burst Mode technology, an innovative feature that ensures that the inverter performs optimally even in low sunlight or high temperatures.
Burst Mode continuously analyzes the voltage output during each AC cycle - which at 60Hz frequency equates to 60 cycles per second. Every 1/60th of a second, the Burst Mode makes a new calculation to determine the ideal output voltage.
When the solar panels within the system deliver less than 30% of their maximum capacity, Burst Mode comes into action. The Enphase IQ8-MC microinverter stores the generated energy in built-in capacitors, guaranteeing optimal efficiency at times of reduced sunlight output.
Features IQ8-MC
The Enphase IQ8-MC microinverter delivers a maximum power of 325 Watts. Nevertheless, it is possible to connect solar panels with a capacity of up to 480 Watt peak, because as soon as the power exceeds 325 Watt, the IQ8-MC will limit this.
The IQ8-MC microinverter is compatible with solar panels containing 54 (or 108 half), 60 (or 120 half), and 72 (or 144 half) cells.
One microinverter is required for each individual solar panel. Not compatible with IQ7 or older inverters.
