About Enphase Microinverters
Unlike traditional string inverter system, Enphase features independently functioning microinverters under each panel. This means a problem with one panel doesn't impact the performance of the other. So, if one panel slips into the shade, is obstructed or experiences a glitch, the other panels can keep generating peak solar production.

IQ8AC
Designed for standard residential solar applications, the IQ8AC microinverter is optimised for panels up to 475W. It provides efficient energy conversion for most common rooftop solar systems.
IQ8HC
A step up in power handling, the IQ8HC is suited for larger residential panels up to 418 W. It offers higher capacity and can handle more powerful modules, ideal for systems requiring a bit more output.
IQ8X
Built for high-capacity residential and commercial installations, the IQ8X can accommodate panels up to 505W. This microinverter is compatible with high voltage solar panels such as the new REC 460W Alpha Pure RX
The primary distinction between these microinverters is their maximum power handling capacity, with IQ8AC for lower-capacity panels, IQ8HC for higher-capacity residential and commercial panels, and IQ8X for high-power voltage residential and commercial panels.
