Grid-Connected Micro-Inverter system

The Enphase Micro-Inverter system is the first commercially available micro-inverter system for residential and commercial solar PV applications. The Enphase Micro-Inverter is a fully-integrated device that converts the DC output from a single solar module into grid-compliant AC power. The micro-inverter system is designed to maximize energy harvest, increase system reliability and dramatically simplify design, installation and system management.

Easy Design and Installation

System design is a breeze. No more string sizing exercises. No more headaches trying to layout equal lengths of strings to fit on a roof. Each micro-inverter is mounted to the module racking structure and connected directly to the DC wires from each PV module. The micro-inverter AC wire harnesses are connected together to form a continuous AC branch circuit that is connected to the AC utility distribution center.

Optimal energy Harvest

Each PV module is now individually power tracked by a micro-inverter, eliminating power loss caused by a few underperforming modules in the array. Now you can realize the full energy potential of every PV array, reducing the power-limiting effects of shading, dust, debris, module mismatch, and thermal differences. Problems are now isolated to a small fraction of the PV array, while the rest of the PV system continues to function normally. Service becomes routine maintenance rather than a costly emergency.

Reliability

The Enphase Micro-Inverter is qualified to a NEMA6 environment rating and operates at full power up to 65°C (149°F), allowing it to be operated in harsh environments.

Module Level Monitoring

The Enphase Micro-Inverter system includes advanced communication, performance visualization and data analysis on a per-module basis. Every micro-inverter communicates with the Enphase Enlighten website to show you a physically accurate representation of your individual system and how each PV module is performing in real time. Data is monitored 24/7 and Enlighten will immediately notify you via email of any issues it detects. For example, Enlighten will notify you if an individual module is underperforming compared to its neighboring modules.

Ordering

There are models below for 240- and 208-volt output and they are available with MC Solarline 1 or Solarline 2 cable connections on them. They are designed for input from a 150- to 200-watt module with 72 5-inch cells. Order the voltage to match your systems and a connector to match your module output cables. Order one install kit for each AC branch circuit of up to 16 inverters in a 240-volt system and one for each 26 inverters in a 208-volt system. One IEMU-01 is required for Internet monitoring on each installation. The IEMU-01 comes with one year of monitoring on residential systems. Call for information about commercial monitoring.
