Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that installers of Enphase products in New York have seen growing deployments of Enphase Energy Systems powered by IQ8™ Microinverters following the product's launch in North America late last year. IQ8 Microinverters paired with Enphase's industry leading IQ Batteries give homeowners more energy security as increasingly common heat waves and other natural disasters strain the grid. Enphase's revolutionary IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight Backup functionality during an outage, even without a battery.

For homeowners who want battery backup, there are no sizing restrictions on pairing Enphase IQ Batteries with IQ8 Microinverters. In addition, with the Sunlight Jump Start feature, IQ8 Microinverters can restart a home energy system using sunlight only after prolonged grid outages that may result in a fully depleted battery. This eliminates the need for a manual restart of the system and gives homeowners even greater resilience.

Enphase IQ8 solar microinverters come with a 25-year limited warranty. The IQ8 Microinverter system is the first in the world to be certified by UL, a global safety science leader, for the new North American safety and grid interconnection standards for connecting solar inverters, energy storage systems, and distributed energy resources to the grid. Enphase's IQ8 Microinverters, paired with the IQ™ Combiner 4/4C and IQ™ Gateway, create the first complete residential DER system certified by UL.
