There are no special instructions for microinverters with integrated MC4 connectors. Please follow the same installation practices as outlined in the Enphase installation manual.

Is there a cost difference between the two microinverter types?

No, there is no price difference between the microinverters that have integrated MC4 connectors and those that use adapter cables.

Can the installer reduce the cable slack to connect to the solar panel lead cable?

It doesn't use an external bulkhead adapter, so the overall cable is a bit less. However, module leads are typically 4 to 6 feet long, so the impact is minimal.

Will microinverters requiring MC4 adapter cables be phased out completely?

Yes, all microinverters will eventually have integrated MC4 connectors. We are gradually transitioning each inverter in a phased manner.

How can installers tell if the firmware has been updated?

In the Enphase Installer Portal (formally known as Enlighten Manager):

1. Click on “Systems” tab
2. Select a system from the list
3. Click the “Devices” tab
4. The "Processor Load" column will show the existing firmware version

While ordering microinverters with integrated MC4 connectors, do I get Q-DCC-2 adapter cable too?

Microinverters with integrated MC4 connectors will not be shipped with a Q-DCC-2 adapter cable, as they are no longer necessary.
