How the Enphase IQ Microinverter for PowerXT
®
-R-AC Module Works
The Solaria PowerXT
®
-R-AC Module maximizes energy production by using a sophisticated Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Each Enphase Microinverter is individually connected to one PV module in your array.
This conguration enables an individual MPPT to control each PV module, ensuring that maximum power available
from each PV module is exported to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV modules in the
array. While an individual PV module in the array may be affected by shading, soiling, orientation, or PV module
mismatch, each Enphase Microinverter ensures top performance for its associated PV module.
System Monitoring
Once you install the Enphase IQ Envoy and provide an internet connection through a broadband router or modem,
the Enphase IQ Microinverters automatically begin reporting to Enlighten. Enlighten presents current and historical
system performance trends and informs you of PV system status.
Optimal Reliability
Microinverter systems are inherently more reliable than traditional inverters. The distributed nature of a
microinverter system ensures that there is no single point of system failure in the PV system. Enphase
Microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient temperatures as high as 65º C (150º F).
Ease of Design
PV systems using Solaria PowerXT
®
-R-AC Modules are very simple to design and install. You will not need string
calculations or cumbersome traditional inverters. Low voltage DC wires are pre-connected from the PV module
directly to the co-located microinverter, eliminating the risk of personnel exposure to dangerously high DC voltage.
