\"Enphase<\/p>\n

Microinverter and battery storage manufacturer Enphase Energy reported another pretty good quarter. But what the fans (well, this guy anyway) really want to know is\u00a0 – where the bloody hell is the IQ 8?<\/p>\n

In case you’re also wondering what the bloody hell a microinverter is, check out this guide to microinverters and AC solar panels<\/a> to learn what they are, and some of their advantages\/disadvantages.<\/p>\n

But just an added note on this<\/strong> – SolarQuotes founder Finn will be soon be publishing an article concerning a challenge to the blanket claim micro-inverters outperform string inverters when solar panels are shaded. It seems things aren’t quite that straightforward.<\/p>\n

Enphase Energy<\/a>, which is the world’s leading microinverter manufacturer, has reported<\/a> revenue of USD $316 .1\u00a0million for the second quarter of 2021, up a huge amount from Q2 2020 ($125.53 million) and also up on Q1 2021 ($301.75 million).<\/p>\n

But in the Asia Pacific region specifically, revenue declined 3% sequentially in Q2. This has been attributed to COVID disruptions in Australia, along with normal seasonal fluctuations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enphase shipped approximately 2,362,401 microinverters during Q2; representing 796 megawatts DC capacity, along with 43 megawatt hours of Enphase battery storage systems.<\/p>\n

To date, Enphase has shipped more than 36 million microinverters.<\/p>\n

In terms of the current quarter, Enphase expects revenue to be within a range of $335.0 million to $355.0 million, including shipments of 60 to 70 megawatt hours of Enphase Storage systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

IQ 8 Status Update<\/h2>\n

The current generation of Enphase microinverter is the 7A\/7+. The next\/new generation of Enphase microinverter is the IQ 8, which will be an \u201cgrid-independent\u201d device. This means IQ8 based solar power systems will be able to continue to supply electricity to a household in the event of a blackout without requiring a solar battery<\/a><\/span>; assuming there’s sufficient sunlight of course.<\/p>\n

The IQ8 will be available in two flavours – the IQ 8 PV for residential solar installations and the IQ 8 D, a 640-watt microinverter capable of supporting two panels for small commercial solar installations.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11.20am<\/strong> – you can take a peek at the IQ 8D and its specifications here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

—-<\/p>\n

According to Enphase President and Chief Executive Officer Badri Kothandaraman, the company is making good progress on compliance, reliability and system testing of these products.<\/p>\n

“We expect first shipments of the IQ 8 PV microinverters in Q3 and first shipments of the IQ 8D product in Q4,” he stated<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, there’s been a bit of a delay.\u00a0 Back in February<\/a> Mr. Kothandaraman expected shipping to commence in Q2. He notes the company’s “component supply challenges”<\/span> – and Enphase isn’t Robinson Crusoe there by any means. The supply of “AC Fed drivers” appears to be issue, whatever those are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether Australians will be among the first to get their hands on the IQ8 remains to be seen, but Australia is an important market for Enphase. While microinverter-based solar installations are still comparatively uncommon in Australia due to the additional cost involved, in the USA they dominate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The arrival of the IQ8 on our shores might see a greater shift to microinverters given the added benefit of having a degree of backup power in the event of a (daytime) blackout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australians super-keen on such a feature don’t have to wait for the Enphase IQ8 though – for example, Delta’s E5 hybrid inverter<\/a> offers a “Stand Alone\u201d mode. Delta’s H8E and H10E<\/a> <\/span> + back-up box can also power critical loads (8kw\/10kW maximum) during a blackout.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
