About This Product
The Enphase IQ8X 380W Microinverter is a 240V IQ8 Series microinverter designed for modern PV modules with higher DC voltages and larger cell counts. Model IQ8X-80-M-US provides 380VA maximum continuous AC output and 384VA peak output, with module-level power conversion that allows each solar panel to operate independently. It uses factory-fitted Stäubli MC4 DC connectors and is designed as part of the Enphase Energy System.

Who This Product Suits
The Enphase IQ8X is suited to residential solar installations using electrically compatible high-voltage PV modules, including many 80-half-cell, 88-half-cell and 96-cell designs. It is a good fit for installers who want module-level conversion, individual panel monitoring and an Enphase-based system architecture. Module electrical compatibility should always be confirmed against Enphase requirements before installation, and system design must follow applicable NEC requirements and local electrical codes.
Specifications Explained
- 380VA continuous output: Provides up to 380VA of continuous AC output at 240V, with 384VA peak output.
- 240V split-phase: Designed for standard 240V split-phase residential applications in the US.
- 43-60V MPPT range: The operating MPPT window is designed around higher-voltage PV modules, with a maximum DC input voltage of 79.5V.
- 10A maximum continuous DC input: Module selection must remain within the IQ8X input-current and voltage limits.
- 96.5% CEC weighted efficiency: Provides efficient module-level DC-to-AC power conversion.
- 20A branch circuit design: Up to 10 IQ8X units can be installed on a 20A 240V branch circuit when designed in accordance with Enphase requirements and applicable electrical codes.
- 25-year limited warranty: Enphase backs the IQ8X with a long-term manufacturer warranty, subject to its warranty terms and conditions.
