Our newest IQ8 Microinverters are the industry’s first microgrid-forming, software-
defined microinverters with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC
power to AC power efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter
is our proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the
microinverter to operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced
55nm technology with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times
to changing loads and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home
energy systems.
