Small things make a big difference
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.
IQ8 Series Microinverters
Our smartest microinverter yet.
Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry's first grid-forming solar panel microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power efficiently.
-
Full family of microinverters for DC modules up to 530 W.
-
Eliminates battery sizing restrictions.
-
Our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) enables the microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes.
Why are microinverters better?
No single point of failure.
If a solar panel with a central inverter built in fails, solar production stops completely. With one microinverter per module, solar production keeps working even if a microinverter fails.
Maximum power per module.
Whether it's a leaf, dirt, snow, or a cloudy day — obstructions happen. With microinverters, each solar panel operates independently, while central inverters limit their production to the weakest module.
It shines, even
when it rains
IQ Microinverters are NEMA 6 certified and are recommended by FEMA, meaning they can endure just about anything Mother Nature sends their way.
Industry-leading warranty
IQ Microinverters are backed by an industry-leading 25-year limited warranty.
Safety first
IQ Microinverters are inherently safer because they operate at the same low-voltage AC power as your home. Our systems never contain high-voltage DC power.
Responsive and responsible
IQ Microinverters include built-in Rapid Shutdown so that, in the event of an emergency, your solar power can be turned off instantly and easily, keeping utility workers and first responders safe.
Everything just clicks
IQ Microinverters uses plug-and-play technology in order to make your installations faster and easier. Everything snaps together to form a perfect fit. Installation happens with a click even if you are wearing gloves.
