Micro-inverter - Enphase IQ8PLUS - Generates power even in the event of a power cut

Micro-inverter Enphase IQ8PLUS - Generates power even in the event of a power cut.

A revolution in the solar sector.

Enphaseas the world's leading supplier of solar systems, we are constantly innovating and finding technical solutions to help you become energy independent.

Even more powerful than its predecessor, the IQ7, the new IQ8 microinverter is revolutionising the sector.

POWER YOUR HOME EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A POWER CUT.

With the new SUNLIGHT BACKUP system, the first of its kind on the market, your photovoltaic self-consumption project will work even in the event of a power cut by EDF.

How is this miracle possible?

Most solar installations are connected to the electricity grid to feed in the surplus (or all) of solar-generated electricity.

However, when there is a power cut on the grid, the microinverter stops working.

This is essential to ensure the safety of technicians working on the electricity network.

Until now, the only way to generate off-grid electricity was to connect the solar array to a battery.

The battery stores the electrical energy produced during the day and redistributes it when production is at its lowest.

However, for the majority of solar projects, the financial cost of batteries is too high to make them profitable.

The Enphase IQ8 microinverter contains an intelligent chip that identifies the needs of the dwelling and regulates the distribution of electricity in real time.

Your panels can then continue to supply part of your home at night or in the event of a power cut.

To do this, the IQ8 system uses the same low-voltage alternating current as your home.

The microinverter never contains a high-voltage DC power supply, to ensure maximum safety.

With this new system, Enphase makes it possible to create a mini-grid powered by a solar installation and come close toenergy independence.

Enphase IQ8 high-power, smart-grid-ready microinverters are designed to fit the latest generation of high-efficiency photovoltaic modules. The IQ8 has the highest energy production and reliability standards in the industry and, with Rapid Shutdown functionality, meets the highest safety standards. The brain of the solid-state microinverter is our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which allows the microinverter to operate in grid-connected or off-grid mode.
