System monitoring

Once you install the Enphase IQ Gateway and provide an internet connection through a broadband router or
modem, the Enphase IQ Microinverters automatically begin reporting to Enphase App. Enphase App presents
current and historical system performance trends and informs you of your PV system status.

Optimal reliability

Microinverter systems are inherently more reliable than traditional inverters. The distributed nature of a
microinverter system ensures that there is no single point of system failure in the PV system. Enphase
microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient temperatures as high as 65° C (150°F).

Ease of design

PV systems using Enphase microinverters are very simple to design and install. You will not need string
calculations or cumbersome traditional inverters. Low-voltage DC wires connect from the PV module
directly to the co-located microinverter, eliminating the risk of personnel exposure to dangerously high DC
voltage.

Planning for microinverter installation

The microinverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and complies with the IP67 Outdoor
Environmental Enclosure Rating Standard:
IP67 rating definition: Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against
hose-directed water, the entry of water during occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth,
and damage from external ice formation.
The IQ Cable is available with connector spacing options to accommodate the installation of PV modules in
either portrait or landscape orientation. For IQ Cable ordering information, see
in the manual.
