Enphase Energy, a California-based provider of solar inverters and energy storage systems, has introduced new control software for its IQ8 and IQ9 commercial microinverter systems.
The new software, called Power Control, is designed to help installers save costs and simplify interconnection.
“Enphase Power Control software is designed to help installers work faster and stay within budget by replacing custom power control hardware with utility-recognized control functionality, unlocking commercial projects that would otherwise stall due to interconnection or infrastructure limitations,” said Ken Fong, senior vice president of sales at Enphase Energy.
The new solution allows installers to control overall system exports through software-based limits, avoiding transformer upgrades and service sizing. It also enables scheduled AC nameplate matching and enables no-export and restricted export configurations, avoiding third-party export control hardware.
“The new software requires the IQ Gateway Commercial 2 or IQ Gateway Commercial Pro with consumption current transformers (CTs) or a DTS-310 external meter, depending on the monitoring setup,” the company points out. “Installers can set total export limits directly in the Enphase® Installer app.”
