Our latest IQ8 Microinverters are the first in the industry to form microgrids and are software-defined with the ability to convert DC to AC power using split-phase power conversion. The core of this semiconductor-based microinverter is our unique application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), allowing it to function in both grid-tied and off-grid modes. This chip is crafted with cutting-edge 55-nm technology, featuring high-speed digital logic and rapid response times to load changes and grid events, reducing limitations on battery sizing for home energy systems.
