The Enphase IQ6 family is a line of module-level microinverters made by Enphase, with an IQ6 and a higher-output IQ6+ version. On a 240 V single-phase branch circuit you can put up to 16 IQ6 units or up to 13 IQ6+ units. Enphase's AC voltage-rise tech brief gives branch current and voltage-rise tables for each branch size of IQ6 and IQ6+ units. Use these tables to size branch conductors. In those tables, one IQ6 unit adds about 0.96 A or 1.17 A of branch current depending on the table, and one IQ6+ unit adds about 1.35 A. IQ9N microinverters can be added to an existing IQ6 site without an extra IQ Gateway. They are installed and commissioned the same way as IQ8 Series units.

review note: support check: partial - Passages show IQ6 Microinverters per branch, implying microinverters by name, but never classify the IQ6 as a microinverter explicitly beyond naming.

c2 drafted · lead Enphase IQ9N Microinverters (IQ9N-A, IQ9N-HPB)

IQ9N units can be added to existing IQ6 sites without an additional IQ Gateway; installation and commissioning follow the IQ8 Series process.
