IQ8HC-72-M-US-NFC

Enphase IQ8HC Microinverter

The Enphase IQ8HC is the industry's first microgrid-forming, software-defined microinverter with split-phase power conversion capability. Built on Enphase's proprietary ASIC with advanced 55nm technology, the IQ8HC enables operation in both grid-tied and off-grid modes with superfast response times to changing loads and grid events. Designed for today's high-power solar modules rated 320-540W+, it supports 54/108, 60/120, 66/132, and 72/144 half-cell PV modules.
