Enphase Energy, Inc. Launches Iq9n Microinverters with Gan Technology for U.S. Residential Solar Enphase Energy, Inc. announced the launch of the new IQ9N Microinverter for residential solar across the United States. IQ9N Microinverters support 16 A of continuous DC current and 427 VA of continuous output power, pairing with today’s premium high-wattage residential solar panels to help maximize energy production from each module. They are backward compatible with IQ7 and IQ8 Series Microinverters and IQ Batteries, enabling homeowners and installers to expand existing Enphase systems using similar installation methods and accessories. GaN technology enables a peak efficiency of up to 97.8%, with cooler operation and optimized performance across conditions. Enphase’s GaN architecture reduces conduction losses and heat, improves long-term reliability based on engineering and lifecycle testing, maintains peak performance across seasons, and provides capacity to support emerging high-power solar panels. IQ9N Microinverters are engineered to optimize energy from every panel across a wide range of conditions, including partial shading, complex roof layouts, and high-temperature environments. Like all Enphase microinverters, IQ9N Microinverters convert DC to AC at each panel, eliminating long high-voltage DC runs used in traditional string inverter designs and delivering a safer, all-AC architecture on the roof. Per-panel power conversion also keeps the rest of the system producing even if one panel is shaded, soiled, or offline. IQ9N Microinverters meet rigorous grid compliance standards and are NEMA Type 6 rated with a double-insulated, corrosion-resistant polymer housing and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions. Built-in rapid shutdown capability helps reduce risk to utility workers and first responders. Homeowners can monitor system performance at the panel level, receive real-time alerts, and benefit from over-the-air software updates through the Enphase App. IQ9N Microinverters that are manufactured in U.S. facilities with domestic content are designed to be “FEOC compliant” and may help eligible projects qualify for domestic content bonus tax credits. The products also comply with Buy American Act standards for federal direct procurement contracts. IQ9N Microinverters are backed by an industry-leading 25-year limited warranty. The product is available now in the United States through Enphase distribution partners. Certain Enphase products may qualify as FEOC-compliant under IRS Notice 2025-08. Customers should consult their legal and tax advisors to confirm eligibility. Announcement • Jun 19
Enphase Energy, Inc. Begins Shipments Of Gan-Based 548 VA IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters In The United States Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that it began production shipments of its IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverter, the company's most powerful microinverter currently available across the United States. Built with advanced gallium nitride (GaN) technology, the IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverter supports high-wattage solar panels up to 770 W and connects directly to three-phase 480Y/277 V (wye) grid configurations without requiring external transformers. Safe harbor orders for IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters remain open and should be placed before July 4, 2026, to help customers secure equipment ahead of upcoming federal tax credit deadlines. Safe harbor orders placed before the deadline are expected to ship soon after, allowing customers to lock in eligibility while finalizing project designs. Tax credit eligibility varies based on applicable legal requirements and individual project details. IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters support 18 A of continuous DC current, deliver up to 548 VA of continuous output power, and are designed for high-wattage solar panels up to 770 W. This helps optimize the DC/AC ratio and may increase energy production from each module, making IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters ideal for commercial projects using 600 W to 770 W panels. Advanced GaN technology enables high performance and cooler operation under normal operating conditions, and an industry-leading CEC weighted efficiency of 97.5%. Detail Solar recently utilized IQ9N-3P Commercial Microinverters to repower a commercial solar array at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. The first phase retrofitted 30 kW of the university's 988 kW system, replacing aging string inverters with Enphase panel-level architecture to help restore energy production and improve long-term reliability. IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters are designed to meet rigorous grid compliance standards, including UL 1741-SB and IEEE 1547-2018. They include rapid shutdown, phase balancing, voltage and frequency ride-through, and loss-of-phase detection to support grid safety and system reliability. Enphase microinverter systems convert DC to AC at each panel, eliminating long high-voltage DC runs used in traditional string inverter designs and delivering a safer, all-AC architecture on the roof. Enphase microinverters help increase energy production in shaded or uneven roof conditions and provide per-panel monitoring through the Enphase App. IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverters that are manufactured in U.S. facilities with domestic content may qualify as “FEOC compliant” and may help certain eligible projects qualify for domestic content bonus tax credits, subject to project-specific requirements and applicable laws. The products also comply with Buy America Act standards for federal direct procurement contracts. Enphase IQ9 Commercial Microinverters connect to the IQ Gateway Commercial Pro, the communication and control hub for Enphase commercial systems. The gateway enables real-time monitoring, energy management, remote firmware updates, export limiting, and other advanced grid features, subject to system configuration and operating conditions. It also offers flexible connectivity and setup through the Enphase Installer App. The IQ9S-3P Commercial Microinverter is backed by an industry-leading 25-year limited warranty, while the IQ Gateway Commercial Pro comes with a 15-year limited warranty. Certain Enphase products may qualify as FEOC compliant under IRS Notice 2025-08. Customers should consult their legal and tax advisors to confirm eligibility. Announcement • Jun 17
Enphase Energy, Inc. Showcases Product Innovations at Intersolar Europe Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that it will showcase a range of current and new products for the European market at The smarter E Europe (Intersolar Europe) in Munich, Germany from June 23-25, 2026.
