The Enphase Energy System; How Does The Enphase Iq Series Microinverter Work - enphase IQ7+ Installation And Operation Manual

The Enphase Energy System

The Enphase Energy System includes:
•
Enphase IQ7+ and IQ7A Microinverters. The smart grid-ready IQ Series Microinverters convert the DC
output of the PV module into single-phase AC power.
•
Enphase IQ Gateway Metered. Use the model ENV-S-WM-230. The Enphase IQ Gateway Metered is a
communication device that provides network access to the PV array. The IQ Gateway Metered collects
production and performance data from the Enphase IQ Microinverters over onsite AC power lines and
transmits the data to the Enphase App through an internet connection. The IQ Gateway Metered can
monitor up to 300 Enphase IQ Microinverters. For details, refer to the
Installation and Operations
•
Enphase Installer Platform is a web-based monitoring and management software. Installers can use
the Enphase Installer Portal to view detailed performance data, manage multiple PV systems, and
remotely resolve issues that might impact system performance. Find out more at

•
Enphase Installer App for iOS and Android devices. It allows installers to configure the system while
onsite, eliminating the need for a laptop and improving installation efficiency. You can use the app to:

NOTE: To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty requirements, the Enphase microinverter
must be installed according to the instructions in this manual.

How does the Enphase IQ Series Microinverter work?

The Enphase microinverter maximizes energy production by using a sophisticated maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Each Enphase microinverter individually connects to one PV module in your array.
This configuration enables an individual MPPT to control each PV module, ensuring that the maximum power
available from each PV module is exported to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV
modules in the array. While an individual PV module in the array may be affected by shading, soiling, orientation,
or PV module mismatch, each Enphase microinverter ensures top performance for its associated PV module.
