The Enphase Energy System includes the Enphase IQ System Controller 2 with Microgrid Interconnection Device (MID) capability, which consolidates interconnection equipment into a single enclosure and streamlines grid-independent capabilities of PV and storage installations by providing a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications.
Scenario 2 Partial home back-up with IQ System Controller 2 This is the preferred configuration for partial home backup with subpanel with PV and IQ Battery. Generator can be integrated with IQ System Controller based on the homeowner’s needs. The microinverters ranges supported in this configuration are IQ8, IQ6/7, M-Series and S series.
Scenario 2A Partial home backup with Sunlight Backup This is the preferred configuration for partial home backup with subpanel using only IQ8 PV. Generator can be integrated with Enpower based on the homeowner’s needs. It is recommended that installers use 2 Load controllers in order to do load shedding to ensure seamless back up of essential loads using IQ8 Microinverters.
