1. No enforced DC/AC ratio. See the compatibility calculator at https://enphase.com/en-au/installers/microinverters/calculator
2. Installer should not exceed the small-scale technology certificate (STC) limit on PV module wattage for claiming the STC.
3. Maximum short circuit current for modules (Isc) allowed to be paired with IQ8 Series Microinverters: 20 A (calculated with 1.25 safety
factor as per IEC 62548)
4. Nominal voltage range can be extended beyond nominal if required by the electricity network operator.
