IQ8X microinverter

Enphase IQ8X-80-M-INT is a current UK microinverter designed for particular higher-voltage solar modules. It has 380 W rated power, 384 W maximum AC output and 96.7% European weighted efficiency.

Different input window

IQ8X has a 25 to 79.5 V input range, a 30 V start-up voltage and a 43 to 60 V MPPT window. Maximum input current is 10 A, maximum short-circuit input current is 16 A and maximum input power is 560 W.

Typical higher-voltage module formats are only a starting point for matching. The exact module must fit the IQ8X voltage and current schedule.

AC branch and enclosure

IQ8X produces 230 V AC with 1.67 A maximum output current. Maximum efficiency is 97.5%, while European weighted efficiency is 96.7%. A 20 A circuit supports up to nine units on a single-phase branch or 27 distributed across three phases. The corresponding IQ Cable section limits are eight and eighteen.

The enclosure measures 212 × 175 × 30.2 mm without its bracket and weighs 1.1 kg with the mounting plate. It is rated IP67, uses natural-convection cooling and operates from -40°C to 65°C. Night-time power loss is 50 mW.

Warranty territory

The Great Britain warranty is 25 years in Scotland, England and Wales, conditional on an internet-connected IQ Gateway and the remaining terms. Northern Ireland needs its applicable document.
