congurations
Based on the customer's requirement, the IQCombiner can be
installed in multiple site congurations. These can be classied into
four scenarios:
1. Solar Only
2. Solar + Battery without backup
3. Solar + Battery with backup
4. Sunlight Backup
Scenario 1:
Solar Only
This is the preferred conguration when homeowners want to
minimize their utility bills and reduce their carbon footprint without
requiring backup. Due to the Enphase system’s modular design,
homeowners have the option to start with this conguration and
upgrade to storage later.
The microinverter ranges supported in this conguration are IQ6,
IQ7, and IQ8.
NOTE: IQ6 and IQ7 cannot be used in the same PV array with IQ8
series microinverters.
