Enphase Microinverters
Solar panels may be on top, but it’s the inverter that does all the real work. Choosing an inverter technology is the most critical decision you’ll make when going solar.
What’s underneath the panels makes all the difference.
Microinverters – Powerful technology at the heart of the Enphase system.
Enphase Microinverters offer the most advanced inverter technology on the market, which means higher production, greater reliability, and unmatched intelligence.
Enphase Microinverters
The solar panels on your roof absorb sunshine in the form of direct current (DC) power. Tucked beneath each panel, a microinverter converts that DC power to alternating current (AC), the form of electricity your home can use.
Envoy
The Envoy is the brains of the system, gathering data from your microinverters and delivering it to Enlighten software. It communicates in the other direction, too, letting your installer pinpoint any issue remotely and delivering updates to your microinverters.
Enphase MyEnlighten
MyEnlighten is your window into your home energy. It turns Envoy’s data into an easy-to-use interface that lets you track your system’s production and see your home energy usage.
The smarter choice in solar technology
Higher production, best savings
Enphase microinverters are proven to produce more energy than other technologies.
Microinverters operate independently, so each panel performs to its fullest. One shaded or dirty panel won’t affect the rest of the system. Burst technology lets microinverters produce more at dawn, dusk, and in low-light conditions, for a longer solar day.
Safer
Microinverters are safer than other inverter technologies. An all-AC system means no high-voltage DC power on your roof. Enphase Microinverters are commonly chosen for schools, since they meet even the strictest government safety requirements.
More reliable
Enphase Microinverters function independently, they are inherently more reliable: there’s no single point of failure in a microinverter system. If one panel goes down, the others won’t go down with it. Enphase microinverters undergo the most rigorous product testing in the industry. They have the industry’s highest warranties, as they stand by their products.
More cost-effective
In addition to the greater energy savings from higher production, Enphase microinverters are just a better long-term investment. Enphase microinverters come with a 10-year warranty; string inverters need to be replaced at least once in the lifetime of the system. Streamlined components make for quicker and less costly installations. High-quality materials and remote problem-solving save money on repairs.
A system that fits your needs, now and later.
The Enphase System is flexible, so you can design a system to fit today’s budget and energy needs, and expand it later as your needs evolve.
Want to add more panels, or a solar battery? With microinverters, it’s no problem.
Higher production, no matter what nature brings.
Maybe your roof isn’t shaded, so you think microinverters aren’t for you. Well, think again.
First, every system experiences some shading at some point during the day — and Enphase tolerates shading better than others.
Second, shading is only a part of the story. Think dirt, leaves, scratches, snow….
Third, even if you keep your panels spotlessly clean, wear and tear won’t happen uniformly, and temperature differences occur naturally. No matter what, you’ll deal with panels operating at different levels of efficiency (an occurrence known as module mismatch). And if you’ve got microinverters, you’ll maximize your production in spite of it.

Quality by design
Innovative design is the first step towards building products of the highest possible quality. Each microinverter component represents tens of thousands of hours of thought, research, testing, and perfecting, aimed at making each piece as rugged, efficient, and long-lasting as possible. Refined over five generations, they come together for a final product that sets the industry standard for reliability.
Enphase Microinverters – no moving parts.
It’s simple but true: the more moving parts in a system, the more frequently something breaks. In an Enphase system, all the action takes place inside a small, efficient box. String inverters are complicated, with lots of separate and easily breakable components, such as fans. If one tiny part breaks in a string solar inverter, it can cause the whole system to fail.
