Micro Inverters
Enphase
What is a microinverter?
A microinverter is a small electronic device that sits beneath each solar panel. Its main task is to convert the electricity generated by your solar panels from direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) that you can use directly in your home or export to the grid.
Elegantly Simple.
This gives you a simple yet flexible design, leaves more space to easily expand your system in the future. And with the microinverters elegantly hidden beneath each solar panel, you won’t need bulky string inverters affixed to your walls.
Make the most of every moment.
Each micro inverter functions independently, making your whole system more reliable, and your rooftop more productive. With conventional technology such as string inverters, the system performs only as well as its weakest panel. This can dramatically reduce output due to shade, clouds, or other real-world challenges, even from small debris such as leaves.
Certified for rain or shine.
All IQ Microinverters are all-weather with an IP67 certification. A double-insulated, corrosion-resistant polymer housing means they’re rated to withstand just about anything Mother Nature can throw at them.
When safety counts, the choice is clear.
Micro inverters have low-voltage DC that never exceeds 60 volts - DC-AC conversion happens on the panel level, so there’s never any high-voltage power traveling through your system. In other words, you don’t have to worry about the dangers lurking on your own roof.
String Inverters can have up to 1,000 volts DC on roof - In a string inverter system, there’s a lot of high-voltage electricity working its way across your roof. That comes with potential hazards to both you and your installers, including arc-faulting and fire.
Ready for today and tomorrow.
Enphase solar has a plug-and-play design. As your home energy needs grow over the years, an installer can simply plug in more solar panels and microinverters.
Robust, per-panel monitoring.
The Enphase Enlighten App makes it easy to monitor the performance of each and every solar panel on your roof - right from your smartphone, everywhere you go. You can track your energy production, monitor your system’s health, and share your data with family and friends - all from a simple, easy-to-use interface.
