Enphase’s new IQ microinverters are the company’s sixth major generation of product; this latest generation’s technology is much different from previous microinverter releases, and took 5 years to develop. According to a very prominent, Enphase veteran engineer, the IQ technology is now truly scalable in terms of power handling. This attribute of flexibility will allow Enphase to compete on a much wider spectrum. With IQ, Enphase can now scale power handling quite seamlessly, in part by digital and further by selecting the right-sized power transistor, rather than completely overhauling the architecture, digital controls, etc; this should allow cost-effective scaling to pair with today’s complete line-up of solar panels from 250-Watts up through newer generations 440-Watts and beyond.
