Enphase Micro Inverter IQ8A

IQ8A Microinverters are the first microinverters to offer grid-forming capability with split-phase power conversion. They convert DC power to AC power with high efficiency.

  • These semiconductor-based microinverters run on Enphase’s proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which lets them operate in both grid-tied and off-grid modes.
  • With 55nm technology, high-speed digital logic and rapid response to grid events and load changes, these microinverters reduce the need for large battery capacity in home energy systems.
  • As part of the Enphase Energy System, IQ8A Microinverters integrate with the Enphase IQ Battery, Enphase IQ Gateway and the Enphase App for monitoring and analysis.
  • IQ8A Microinverters have undergone over one million cumulative hours of power-on testing. That testing allows Enphase to offer an industry-leading limited warranty of up to 25 years.
  • IQ8 Series Microinverters come with integrated MC4 connectors, which simplify connecting PV modules and speed up installation.
  • IQ8A Microinverters are UL Listed as PV Rapid Shutdown equipment and comply with various regulations when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Who it is for

It suits a single phase property where each panel needs its own inverter, which helps on a roof that is split across faces or takes shade through the day.

Output depends on how the array is designed around your roof, its pitch and direction, and the shading across the day. Our CEC accredited installers assess the roof rather than estimate from an address.
