Enphase Energy, Inc. today announced that it has started shipping IQ8P™ Microinverters, with peak output AC power of 480 W, in Brazil to support newer high-powered solar modules.
This announcement follows the launch of the Enphase® Solargraf℠ platform in Brazil. Solargraf is a cloud-based, all-in-one design and proposal software platform that is used by solar installers to help simplify and accelerate the end-to-end sales process and installation for solar customers, allowing them interactive access to design their own home energy systems.
IQ8P Microinverters are designed to maximize energy production and can manage a continuous DC current of 14 Amperes, supporting higher powered solar modules through increased energy harvesting. The newly available IQ8P Microinverters are the most powerful microinverters available from Enphase to-date. The product features a peak output power of 480 W and are designed to seamlessly pair with a full range of solar modules up to 670 W DC. All IQ8P Microinverters activated in Brazil come with a 25-year limited warranty.
"The innovative IQ8P Microinverter allows us to build customized, reliable, and safe home energy systems that fit the needs of our customers," said Ramon de Oliveira, CEO of Holu Solar. "Enphase's industry-leading and reliable products make energy independence a reality for homeowners across Brazil."
"As the demand for solar energy in Brazil grows, we are looking for high-powered products that can deliver what we need, and Enphase is always ahead of the curve," said Caio Lucena, project manager at Plug Solar Energia. "The IQ8P Microinverter presents a sophisticated, easy to install solution that allows homeowners to harness all the energy that the sun has to offer."
The Enphase® Energy System™ integrates with the IQ® Gateway, which can be connected to the internet to enable over-the-air updates and connect to the Enphase® App monitoring platform. The IQ Gateway and IQ® Microinverters make per-panel energy monitoring and insights for operations and maintenance simple for homeowners and small businesses.
"Enphase's system is the industry's leading end-to-end and intelligent home energy management system," said Paulo Henrique Guedes, CEO of Sunnorte. "The IQ8P Microinverter paired with the Enphase App gives homeowners unprecedented transparency into their energy usage and production so that they can take control of powering their lives."
"In response to the escalating demand for our home energy solutions in Brazil, we are pleased to launch our IQ8P Microinverters, extending our line of products available to unlock clean and reliable energy for homeowners," said Aaron Gordon, vice president and general manager of the microinverter business unit at Enphase Energy. "IQ8P Microinverters elevate performance standards for high-powered solar modules to facilitate and accelerate the country's shift to clean, reliable energy."
