IQ8 / IQ8+ / IQ8M / IQ8A / IQ8H Micro Installation and Operation

Full Energy Independence
In this configuration, the Enphase Energy System provides all-day backup using IQ8 series
microinverters and IQ Batteries. The system must have at least 10 kWh of IQ Batteries installed.
Depending on the IQ Battery sizing, the system will be able to sustain off grid operation for extended
periods of time. This use case supports backing up all the loads in the home. Note that the batteries
must be sized correctly to supply the loads. Two IQ Load Controllers can be installed to enable fine-
grained control of backed-up loads.
Set Up and Activate Monitoring
Refer to the Enphase IQ Gateway Quick Install Guide to install the IQ Gateway and set up system monitoring and
grid management functions. This guide leads you through the following:
• Connecting the Gateway
• Detect devices
• Connecting to Enphase Installer Platform
• Registering the system
• Building the virtual array
NOTE: When the utility requires a profile other than the default IEEE 1547 (for example grids
managed by Hawaii Electric Industries [HEI] including HECO) you must select an appropriate grid
profile for your installation.
You can set the grid profile through Enphase Installer Platform, during system registration, or through Enphase
Installer App at any time. You must have an Enphase IQ Gateway to set or change the grid profile. For more
information on setting or changing the grid profile, refer to the Enphase IQ Gateway installation and Operation
Manual at enphase.com/support.
