- Vendor: Enphase
Specifications
Product Description
The Enphase IQ 8HC IQ8HC-72-M-INT Microinverter is the highest output variant in the IQ8 family for one (1) module per unit. It provides 380 W nominal at 230 V with European efficiency of 96.8% and a sealed IP67 enclosure without a fan, designed for demanding environments. Its MPPT window of 29.5–45 V and capacity for high currents allow it to maximize modern high-power modules (up to ~560 W), while PLC communication with IQ Gateway facilitates configuration, remote updates, and monitoring in Enlighten.
Main Features
- Nominal output power: 380 W (maximum apparent power 384 VA) at 230 V, 50 Hz.
- MPPT optimized for high-current modules: 29.5–45 V; DC operation 18–60 V (start-up 22 V).
- Supports module Isc ≤ 20 A and input Icc up to 14 A.
- Maximum efficiency 97.4% and EU efficiency 96.8%; adjustable cosφ 1.0.
- IP67 rating, Class II (double insulation), and natural convection cooling.
- PLC communication with IQ Gateway / Envoy-S and full monitoring in Enlighten.
Advantages or Benefits
- Greater utilization of powerful panels: reduces clipping and losses due to module mismatch.
- Safety and modularity: eliminates high-voltage DC strings and allows panel-by-panel expansion.
- High availability: encapsulated electronics, no moving parts, and excellent thermal management.
- Advanced control: export limitation, grid profiles, and diagnostics from the app/portal.
- Lower operating cost: precise per-module data streamlines maintenance.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended for residential self-consumption and small commercial applications with high-power, high-current panels, complex roofs, multiple orientations, or shading. Ideal for repowering existing systems or when prioritizing safety by avoiding high DC voltages on the roof.
