ENPHASE IQ8 Range Micro Inverter
The high-efficiency Enphase IQ8+ and IQ8MC photovoltaic microinverters are the latest generation of microinverters to arrive on the French market. Designed for smart grids and zero injection , these microinverters integrate perfectly with Enphase monitoring modules and Enlighten monitoring software.
Performance and Reliability
The IQ8+ and IQ8MC microinverters deliver exceptional efficiencies among module-level power electronics (MLPE) solutions. Featuring double-insulated polymer enclosures (Class II), they provide optimum reliability and are guaranteed for 25 years .
Simplified Installation
Their wiring system simplifies their installation. They are installed at the output and on the back of the photovoltaic panel thanks to the MC4 connectors for the input of the produced current (DC) on one side and on the Enphase cable on the other for transfer of the transformed current (AC) to the domestic network.
Need for an Enphase QRelay
To ensure adequate protection and comply with French standards, the installation of IQ8+ and IQ8MC microinverters must include an Enphase QRelay , which ensures physical decoupling of the installation in the event of an electrical problem.
Connectivity and Updates
The Enphase Gateway is essential for updates and ensuring optimal production with the IQ8+. It enables two-way communication between the microinverters and the energy management system, ensuring your system is operating with the latest features and enhancements.
Compatibility with Other Enphase Products
The IQ8+ and IQ8MC microinverters are compatible with other Enphase products, such as the Envoy S Metered web gateway and the decoupling Q Relay, for optimal performance and full regulatory compliance.
Instructions for Using the Installer ToolKit and Enlighten Application
To configure and monitor the installation, the Installer ToolKit application and Enlighten software are recommended. Links to these tools are provided for ease of use.
Compatibility Between IQ7 and IQ8 Microinverters
It is important to note that IQ7 and IQ8 microinverters cannot be mixed on the same production line.

Safety, Installation Compatibility Between IQ7 and IQ8 Microinverters
Safety, installation and use:
- Light and simple. Be careful, adding a I'll call you back later QRelay is necessary to ensure the decoupling function in the event of a network loss
- Quick installation with 2x conductor wiring present in the Enphase Q-Cable (single phase option) or 3-phase QCable
This product is sold on the French market only and cannot be shipped to Belgium.
Please note that the 25-year warranty is only provided by Enphase if the Envoy S Metered Web Gateway and the decoupling Q Relay are associated with your installation: The Web Gateway allows updates recommended by the manufacturer and the Q Relay allows physical disconnection when the Enedis network stops or becomes unstable.
