CEC listing: IQ8MC-72-M-ACM-INT (AS4777-2 2020)
A 0.3 kW single-phase solar inverter.
Enphase IQ8 takes a microinverter approach: each panel runs its own inverter rather than feeding a single central unit. Output is optimised, monitored, and reported at the panel level. IQ8 microinverters are grid-forming, so the array can produce daytime power without a grid reference signal. Paired with the Envoy gateway, this enables the Sunlight Backup feature: the system keeps running during a daylight grid outage even with no battery attached. For Perth roofs, panel-level conversion removes a central single point of failure and handles partial shading more independently than a string inverter. The inverter warranty is 25 years, and Enphase runs an Australian office for local support.

Western Power approval is required for every grid-connected install. Under Emergency Solar Management, a new system must be remotely manageable, or take an export limit instead — ask your installer to confirm this inverter’s ESM status.
