Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today announced that it has started shipping IQ8™ Microinverters, with peak output AC power of 480 W, in India to support newer high-powered solar modules.
IQ8 Microinverters are designed to maximize energy production and can manage a continuous DC current of 14 amperes, supporting higher powered solar modules through increased energy harvesting. The newly available microinverters – IQ8HC™ and IQ8P™ – are the most powerful microinverters available from Enphase to-date. The products feature a peak output power of 384 W and 480 W, respectively, and are designed to seamlessly pair with a full range of solar modules up to 670 W DC. All IQ8 Microinverters activated in India come with a 15-year limited warranty that is extendable up to 25 years.
“We believe in providing lasting solutions to our customers, and Enphase has been a reliable partner helping us to maximize the value of a homeowner’s investment in solar,” said Harsha Kuntur, managing director at Ecosoch Solar Pvt. Ltd. “The reliability and quality of Enphase’s products not only satisfy various customer requirements but also align with our own commitment to safety, durability, and quality.”
“India is undergoing an ambitious clean energy transition, and we are pleased to help more homeowners power their homes with clean energy by offering one of the most reliable and effective residential solar solutions on the market,” said Rakshith T R, director at SunPV Energy Pvt. Ltd. “Enphase’s products are easy to install, customize, and manage – unlocking energy savings and security that meet our customers’ needs.”
The Enphase® Energy System™ integrates with the IQ™ Gateway, which can be connected to the internet to enable over-the-air updates and connect to the Enphase® App monitoring platform. The IQ Gateway and IQ® Microinverters make per-panel energy monitoring and insights for operations and maintenance simple for homeowners and small businesses. Additionally, the IQ™ Relay integrates with the system to physically isolate IQ Microinverters from the grid when it senses abnormalities like voltage or frequency changes and will automatically reconnect when valid grid conditions resume.
“High-quality products that can stand the test of time are vital to our business, and IQ8 Microinverters will help our customers get the most value from the sun,” said Arshi Chadha, director at Sunson Energy. “The ability to monitor their energy systems from the Enphase App provides our customers with control unlike from any other system we’ve seen.”
“Enphase actively works with installers to ensure we’re meeting the needs of their businesses and customers as part of our commitment to expand our product offerings worldwide,” said Aaron Gordon, vice president and general manager of the microinverter business unit at Enphase Energy. “IQ8 Microinverters feature our most advanced technology to date that’s compatible with the wide range of solar modules on the market today, and we’re pleased to support the newer high-powered solar modules in India.”
