About Enphase Energy
Enphase Energy was founded in California in 2006 and launched the world’s first commercially successful microinverter in 2008. The idea was straightforward but transformative: instead of one central inverter managing all solar panels on a roof, each panel gets its own dedicated microinverter that converts DC to AC right at the point of generation.
That architecture change turned out to matter enormously. When one panel is shaded or underperforming, the others keep working at full capacity. The result is measurably more energy from the same roof, panel-level monitoring that shows exactly what each panel is doing, and a distributed system with no single point of failure.
The IQ8 — Enphase’s eighth-generation microinverter — introduced grid-forming capability: the first microinverter that can keep your home running on sunlight alone during a grid outage, even without a battery. Combined with the IQ Battery, IQ Gateway and IQ EV Charger, Enphase now offers a complete home energy ecosystem managed from a single app.

Complete Enphase Energy Ecosystem
Every Enphase product is designed to work together as a single intelligent platform — managed through the Enphase App and connected via the IQ Gateway. You can start with panels and microinverters alone, then add battery storage and EV charging later without changing a thing.
One microinverter per panel. DC-to-AC conversion at the source. Grid-forming capability for Sunlight Backup. 25-year warranty as standard.
Store surplus solar energy and use it at night or during power cuts. The IQ Battery 5P charges faster than any previous Enphase battery.
Charge your electric vehicle on your own solar power. Integrates with the Enphase system so solar is always prioritised over grid energy.
Real-time panel-level monitoring, grid management, and remote diagnostics — all in the Enphase App.
Enphase IQ8 Series
A microinverter is a small device that mounts underneath each individual solar panel and converts the DC electricity generated by that panel into AC electricity your home can use. The key difference from a string inverter is that every panel operates entirely independently.
Enphase IQ Battery 5P
The Enphase IQ Battery stores the surplus energy your solar panels generate during the day so you can use it in the evening, overnight, or during a power outage. Multiple batteries can be combined to increase capacity as your needs grow.
Enphase IQ EV Charger
The Enphase IQ EV Charger is the only EV charger that integrates natively with the Enphase microinverter and battery ecosystem. It prioritises charging from your own solar energy first — and only draws from the grid when solar generation is insufficient.
Enphase IQ System Controller 3
The IQ System Controller 3 is Enphase’s third-generation grid interconnection and backup management device. It sits between the grid, your solar panels and your IQ Batteries — managing the flow of energy and enabling automatic whole-home backup during grid outages. All performance data flows through it to the Enlighten cloud monitoring platform.
Why Enphase
A string inverter ties all your panels together — if one underperforms, they all do. Enphase microinverters work independently, so shade or soiling on one panel has zero impact on the rest.
Paired with an IQ Battery, an Enphase system automatically switches to backup mode during a grid outage. In Cyprus, where outages do happen, that’s a practical benefit — not just a spec sheet feature.
The Enphase App shows panel-level production, battery state, consumption, and grid import in real time. Most solar systems give you one number. Enphase gives you the whole picture.
That figure reflects the durability of the design — fewer components, less heat, longer lifespan than conventional central inverters. Not a marketing claim.
Start with the panels you need now, add battery storage later, add an EV charger after that. Enphase is fully modular — every addition integrates cleanly without redesigning anything.
Multiple orientations, partial shading, split-level roofs — Enphase handles configurations that would be impractical with a string inverter. A real advantage for many properties across Cyprus.

FAQ’s
About Enphase & How It Works
Enphase Energy is the world’s leading microinverter company, founded in California in 2006. Instead of a single central inverter managing all your solar panels, Enphase installs one small microinverter under each individual panel. Each microinverter converts DC electricity to AC independently — so every panel operates at its own maximum regardless of what the others are doing. The IQ System Controller 3 manages grid interaction and backup switching, while the Enlighten cloud platform and Enphase App give you real-time data on every panel from anywhere.
For most homes and commercial roofs, yes — particularly where there is any shading, multiple roof orientations, or a desire for panel-level monitoring. String inverters are simpler and cheaper upfront, but they have a single point of failure and any underperforming panel reduces the output of the entire string. Enphase microinverters produce more energy over time, especially on shaded or complex roofs, and carry a 25-year warranty versus the typical 10–12 years for string inverters. For a large, unshaded, flat roof facing one direction, string inverters can be more cost-effective — we’ll always give you an honest answer based on your specific situation
The IQ8 is Enphase’s eighth-generation microinverter and the current production model we supply. The key advance over the IQ7 is grid-forming capability — the IQ8 can operate independently from the grid and provide Sunlight Backup during a daylight outage without a battery. The IQ8 also has improved power output compatibility with modern high-wattage panels. IQ7 and IQ8 systems are not cross-compatible — a system must use one generation throughout.
Batteries & Backup Power
Yes. When an IQ Battery is paired with IQ8 microinverters and the IQ System Controller 3, your home automatically switches to backup power during a grid outage — typically in under 200 milliseconds, fast enough that most devices don’t even notice the transition. You run on stored battery energy, and the system continues charging the battery from solar during daylight hours if the outage persists.
Each IQ Battery 5P stores 5.0 kWh of usable energy. A typical Cypriot household uses between 10–20 kWh per day. If your goal is to cover evening and overnight consumption from solar stored during the day, 2–3 batteries (10–15 kWh) is a good starting point. If you want whole-home backup through extended outages, 3–4 units gives more margin. The right answer depends on your daily usage profile, which we assess during a site survey. Up to 4 batteries can be combined in a single system.
It depends entirely on how much you’re consuming and how much solar you’re generating. One IQ Battery 5P at full charge (5 kWh) could power typical essential loads — fridge, lights, phone charging, router — for around 6–10 hours overnight. During the day, if the sun is out, the solar panels keep charging the battery while it powers the home, extending the backup duration significantly. Two or three batteries proportionally extend that time.

Technical & Compatibility
Enphase IQ8 microinverters are compatible with virtually all commercial solar panels. The IQ8 series covers panels from roughly 235W to 460W+ depending on the specific IQ8 model. Because each microinverter connects to a single panel, you can mix panel brands or add newer panels later without any compatibility issues — a significant practical advantage over string inverter systems.
No. Your Enphase system generates, stores and uses solar energy regardless of whether it’s connected to the internet. An internet connection is needed for the IQ System Controller 3 to upload data to the Enlighten cloud and for you to view live monitoring in the app remotely. The system stores up to one year of performance data locally — so if internet is unavailable for a period, the data isn’t lost and syncs when reconnected. Backup functionality also works without internet access.
