Enphase Energy Announces General Availability of Enphase IQ™ 7A Microinverters for Solar Modules Up to 450 W
October 28 2019 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that the Enphase IQ™ 7A microinverter for
high-power monofacial and bifacial solar modules will begin
shipping to customers in North America in November 2019. The IQ 7A
microinverter augments the lineup of seventh-generation Enphase
microinverters with support for modules up to 450 W, targeting
high-power residential and commercial solar applications.
With a maximum output power of 366 VA (Volt-Amperes) and 97% CEC
efficiency, Enphase IQ 7A microinverters can generate up to 14%
more power than any previous generally available Enphase IQ
microinverter. The IQ 7A microinverter maintains the compact form
factor of the seventh-generation IQ family of microinverters and
leverages the same groundbreaking semiconductor integration for
high reliability and economies of scale. Enphase customers will be
able to pair the IQ 7A microinverter with monofacial or bifacial
solar modules, up to 450 W, from solar module manufacturers who are
expected to introduce high-power variants of their products in the
next three years. IQ 7A microinverters paired with high-power
modules allow solar installers to reduce the number of modules
required for a given system output and provide installers the peace
of mind of knowing that Enphase microinverters can support future
high-power modules.
“With IQ 7A microinverters, we continue to deliver on our vision
of innovation, high quality and reliability, and a reduction in the
overall cost of delivered electricity by making installation easy,”
said Badri Kothandaraman, President and CEO of Enphase Energy. "We
are proud to offer our customers this industry-leading technology
that makes clean energy more affordable and accessible to all, with
features that both homeowners and many commercial solar customers
want.”
Enphase IQ 7A microinverters are compatible with 60-, 66-, or
72-cell solar modules and are designed to support residential as
well as commercial solar applications. As with all Enphase IQ
microinverters, the IQ 7A microinverter is powered by Enphase’s
unique software-defined architecture and includes built-in support
for Rapid Shutdown and compliance with California Rule 21
requirements.
Installers in the U.S. are excited about offering the Enphase IQ
7A microinverter to their residential and commercial solar
customers:
“After years of installing Enphase microinverters and
experiencing the continued product developments and improvements
first-hand, we are very excited to have the opportunity to offer
the next generation high-power IQ 7A micros,” said Wayne Irwin,
director of engineering at Pure Energy Solar. “Enphase has helped
make our installations more efficient, reliable, and safer, and the
IQ 7A will enable us to take system design to the next level with
higher wattage and higher efficiency modules. Enphase products,
coupled with Pure Energy Solar's focus on top quality installations
and customer service, continue to inspire our customers to write
glowing reviews and provide abundant referrals.”
“We only deploy Enphase microinverters in our commercial solar
systems, and the Enphase IQ 7A microinverter will allow us to scale
to higher power 72-cell modules on our proprietary ground-mount
systems and deliver more output to our customers,” said Jim
Straeter, president of Ag Technologies, Inc. “We started using
Enphase in 2012 and have never looked back since installation is
simple, and the technology is very reliable. The systems we build
are up to 1 MW in size, and Enphase Enlighten monitoring gives us
the pinpoint-accuracy required for efficient operations and
maintenance work on systems with thousands of micros.”
'“The new Enphase IQ 7A inverters will allow us to maximize
production of the high-power modules we use by providing greater
power during peak sun hours, which yields in a greater return on
investment for our customers,” said Carlos Martinez, owner of Solar
Roots in Puerto Rico. “The customers we serve understand that solar
is an economic decision, and they appreciate that we use Enphase to
design solar systems that fit their energy needs without having to
buy more solar than they need.”
Enphase microinverters are subjected to a rigorous reliability
and quality testing regiment with over one million hours, the
equivalent of more than 100 years of test cycles. The company’s
microinverters are designed to be long-lived energy assets,
expected to be operational in heat, high humidity, salty air,
extreme cold, and across the harshest climate conditions. To
further help ensure quality and durability, Enphase microinverters
do not contain complicated moving parts or easily breakable
components, such as fans. For more information about Enphase IQ
microinverters, please visit the Enphase Energy website.
