Quick Answer
Multiple Enphase units can be connected in series effectively for certain applications, such as grid-tied systems with high voltage requirements, but they must be properly configured and monitored to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Series Connection Limitations
Enphase microinverters can be connected in series, but this is typically done for grid-tied systems with high voltage requirements, typically above 600V. Series connections require special consideration due to the high voltage and potential risks associated with electrical shock. Enphase recommends using their Encharge series products with built-in series connections for safe and reliable operation.
Series Connection Benefits
Series connections can help reduce the number of inverters needed, simplify the electrical infrastructure, and minimize the cost of the system. For example, connecting two Enphase IQ 6 or IQ 7 units in series can provide a 600V output, which is ideal for many residential grid-tied systems. This configuration also allows for easier installation and maintenance of the system.
