US microinverter expert Enphase has brought its IQ 7A devices for commercial and also commercial roof PV projects to Europe and also Australia.

These inverters work with 60-, 66-, and also 72-cell high-power monofacial and bifacial solar modules with power output varying from 295 to 450 W, according to the maker. "With a maximum result power of 366 volt-amperes (VA) and 96.5% EU effectiveness, Enphase IQ 7A microinverters can create as much as 14% even more power than any kind of previous Enphase IQ microinverters," the business asserts.

The inverters have a California Energy Commission (CEC) efficiency of 97.0% and an optimum input DC voltage of 58 V. Power point monitoring voltage varies between 18 V and also 58 V, while optimum DC short circuit current is 15 A.

Each microinverter has measurements of 212 mm by 175 mm by 30.2 mm and also weighs 1.08 kg. Its ambient operating temperature varies from -40 C to 60 C.

The inverter likewise includes the Enphase Enlighten surveillance and also analysis software application in addition to IP67 protection.

" The microinverters are backed by a 10-year service warranty in the Australian solar market, which can be reached 15, 20, or 25 years, and a 25-year minimal guarantee in the European solar market," Enphase claimed. "The pairing of IQ 7A microinverters with high-power modules enables solar installers to decrease the number of modules needed for an offered system result and supplies them with the satisfaction of knowing that Enphase microinverters can sustain future high-power modules."
