Microinverters
Enphase Microinverters
Panel-level power conversion with no single point of failure — and monitoring for every panel on your roof.
Why microinverters
Your panels make DC power; an inverter converts it to the AC power your home uses. The traditional approach uses one big 'string' inverter for the whole array — which means one weak or shaded panel, or one inverter fault, can drag down everything. We install Enphase microinverters instead: one small inverter on each panel.
That design change has real advantages. Each panel produces independently, so shade on one panel doesn't hurt the others, and there's no single point of failure. Because each panel is monitored individually, we can see exactly how every part of your system is performing — and catch a problem before you'd ever notice it.
There's a safety benefit too: microinverters keep high-voltage DC off your roof, which is safer for your home and for first responders.
At a glance
- One microinverter per panel — no single point of failure
- Shade or debris on one panel won't drag down the array
- Per-panel monitoring from your phone
- Safer — no high-voltage DC on the roof
- Industry-leading 25-year microinverter warranty
Why we install it
Every panel pulls its weight
With panel-level conversion, a shaded or soiled panel only affects itself — the rest of your array keeps producing at full output.
See everything, per panel
The Enphase app shows production for each individual panel. So do we — which means proactive monitoring and faster support.
Safer by design
Microinverters convert DC to AC right at the panel, keeping dangerous high-voltage DC off your roof and out of your home.
Battery-ready
Enphase microinverters integrate seamlessly with Enphase IQ batteries, so adding storage later is straightforward.
One system, designed to work together
The same microinverter technology on your roof runs inside your battery, too. Every Enphase IQ Battery has microinverters built in — so the per-unit redundancy that keeps one shaded or failed panel from dragging down your array works exactly the same way for storage: no single point of failure on the roof or in the battery. Solar, storage, and monitoring are one AC-coupled Enphase system, engineered end to end to work together — from the panels, to the battery, to the app in your hand — for a seamless experience.
Microinverters — common questions
- What's the difference between a microinverter and a string inverter?
- A string inverter handles your whole array at once, so the weakest panel sets the pace and a single fault can take the system offline. A microinverter sits on each panel, so panels work independently, there's no single point of failure, and you get per-panel monitoring.
- What happens if one microinverter fails?
- Only that one panel is affected — the rest of your system keeps running. Monitoring flags the issue, and Enphase microinverters carry an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
- Can I add a battery later?
- Yes. Because Enphase microinverters are part of the Enphase ecosystem, adding an Enphase IQ battery down the road is straightforward.
