Enphase Energy Revolutionizes Residential Rooftop Solar Installations
March 21 2017 - 9:00AM
Enphase IQ Microinverter System Now Shipping in the
U.S.
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
announced today it has begun shipping the Enphase IQTM
Microinverter System. Introduced at Solar Power International in
September 2016, the sixth generation of Enphase microinverters
builds on more than ten years of innovation to offer unmatched
simplicity, reliability and ease of installation.
"Enphase continues to be the innovation leader in solar with the
delivery of our IQ Microinverter System which dramatically
simplifies the solar installation," said Paul Nahi, president and
CEO of Enphase Energy. "Our IQ technology will also enable the
introduction of Enphase Energized AC Modules which will be the
ultimate game changer for the residential solar industry.”
Like all previous generations of their technology, the Enphase
IQ System is a complete AC solution that uses no high voltage DC,
providing the safest possible solar solution for homeowners. The
system is also designed and manufactured for reliability, assured
by over one million hours of power-on testing.
Lighter and easier to install, IQ microinverters use a unique
double insulated, non-corroding polymeric enclosure that
contributes to a design that is 30 percent lighter than Enphase
S-Series microinverters. The new two-wire Q Cable that is part of
the IQ Microinverter System uses half the copper and is 50 percent
lighter than the previous generation of Enphase trunk cables.
IQ Microinverters meet or exceed regulatory requirements set by
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and individual states. For
example, Enphase is certified compliant with NEC 2014 and 2017
rapid shutdown requirements. Unlike string inverters, this
capability is built-in, with no additional equipment necessary. In
addition, Enphase IQ microinverters comply with requirements for
distributed solar on utility networks included in Rule 21 in
California and Hawaiian Electric Company Rule 14H, such as power
factor, voltage and frequency ride-through requirements.
Addressing the growing market demand for high-powered modules,
the Enphase IQ 6+ Micro supports both 60- and 72-cell modules up to
400 W DC and is now shipping in the U.S. Solar installers should
contact an Enphase Authorized Distributor for details. The Enphase
IQ 6 Micro which pairs with modules up to 330 W DC will become
available in the U.S. this summer.
Also coming to market this summer, IQ Microinverters will be
integrated into Enphase Energized™ AC Modules with IQ from LG,
SolarWorld and Jinko Solar. AC modules will further simplify
residential solar installations by streamlining the supply chain,
reducing capital costs, and expediting the design and installation
processes.
