Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that installers of Enphase® products in Massachusetts 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 in Massachusetts more energy security as summer heat reaches record highs in parts of the state and strains the grid's infrastructure. Enphase's revolutionary IQ8-based systems can provide Sunlight Backup™ 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.

Massachusetts homeowners who choose to add Enphase IQ Batteries in National Grid, Eversource, and Cape Light Compact territories can also earn up to $1,056 a year by enrolling in the ConnectedSolutions program. Through the program, homeowners are compensated for allowing their batteries to discharge during peak demand events to help stabilize the grid.
