Enphase Unveils Game-Changing IQ9N-3P Microinverter for Commercial Solar
Enphase Energy, a leading California-based solar technology company, has announced the launch of the IQ9N-3P, a new three-phase microinverter designed for large-scale commercial solar projects in the USA. This latest addition to their product range is set to revolutionize the way commercial-scale solar installations are managed.
The IQ9N-3P is a robust microinverter, capable of handling a continuous DC current of 16 amperes and delivering up to 427 VA of peak output power. It supports solar panels up to 600 W, making it an ideal choice for commercial projects in the USA. The device is built with gallium nitride (GaN) technology, enabling faster switching and cooler operation.
To ensure real-time monitoring and energy management, the IQ9N-3P must be connected to the IQ Gateway Commercial Pro. This all-AC architecture on the roof eliminates the need for long high-voltage DC runs, enhancing safety in commercial solar projects.
The IQ9N-3P is designed for 480 V commercial projects in the USA and supports a 480/277 V three-phase wye configuration, as well as a 208 V model. It complies with UL 1741-SB and IEEE 1547-2018 grid standards, ensuring seamless integration with the power grid in the USA.
One of the standout features of the IQ9N-3P is its flexibility. It can be deployed for small commercial systems under 100 kW or larger systems with 'hundreds of kW', allowing for easy scaling without redesign. This versatility makes it a practical choice for a wide range of commercial projects in the USA.
Enphase Energy has committed to manufacturing the IQ9N-3P in U.S. facilities, ensuring compliance with the Buy America Act and Build America, Buy America Act rules. The microinverter also comes with a comprehensive 25-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind for investors and installers in the USA.
The IQ9N-3P, with its robust performance, flexible design, and safety features, is set to become a game-changer in the commercial solar market in the USA. Its launch in December 2025 is eagerly anticipated by solar installers and project developers alike. With its domestic manufacturing and extended warranty, the IQ9N-3P is not just a microinverter; it's a testament to Enphase Energy's commitment to innovation and quality in the solar industry in the USA.
