FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today announced that it has started shipping IQ8™ Microinverters to support newer, high-powered solar modules in select countries throughout Europe, including France, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, Estonia, Slovakia, and Croatia.

IQ8X™ Microinverters are available for customers in France, Germany, and Spain and feature a peak output AC power of 384 W, designed to support higher powered solar modules up to 560 W DC. The microinverters also support modules with higher cell counts, such as 96-cells and 88 or 80 half-cut cells.

“As an installer, I appreciate how the new IQ8 Microinverters enable us to build a system based on the unique needs of our customers,” said Alex Gerard, managing partner at Gérard Bouvet, an installer of Enphase products in France. “We are thrilled with the increased energy output and the reliability that Enphase’s products consistently provide. It's clear that Enphase is dedicated to innovation and excellence.”

“Enphase is setting a new industry standard with its ongoing innovation and commitment to quality,” said Dirk Hormann, founder of SOLARWERK NORD GmbH, an installer of Enphase products in Germany. “The ease of installation and unmatched reliability mean that our customers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their solar systems will perform optimally for years to come.”

Enphase has also entered the solar markets in Bulgaria, Estonia, Slovakia, and Croatia for the first time with the introduction of three microinverters – IQ8MC™, IQ8AC™, and IQ8HC™ – featuring a peak output power of 330 W, 366 W, and 384 W, respectively. The new microinverters are designed to seamlessly pair with a full range of solar modules up to 560 W DC. IQ8 Microinverters activated in these select European countries come with a 25-year warranty from Enphase.

“IQ8 Microinverters from Enphase are a game-changer and help us better service our customers,” said Jordi Punset, founder and CEO of Electrofluxe, an installer of Enphase products in Spain. “Enphase's reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service is well deserved and makes the company a preferred choice for our installations.”
