Rumor is they are available for purchase with the first batch shipping for North America in December. It looks like the key to making a micro grid and anti-islanding is the IQ System Controller 2 https://enphase.com/sites/default/files/2021-10/IQ-System%20Controller-2-PCS-QIG-EN-US.pdf I...

I've been searching around and haven't been able to find any line diagrams of how the IQ 8 can be hooked up. What I'm trying to understand is how they create a micro grid AND anti-island from the main grid during grid down situation?

For a big system take a look at http://store.evtv.me/products.php?cat=3 Thanks for sharing. I would rather stay away from single point failures like one inverter. Not such a big deal when I'm on grid but I would really like the peace of mind that if the grid is down for very long and an...
