Unfortunately, the IQ8 microinverters for the REC 420Watt solar panels are not available in Australia so the lower power IQ7 were used. This reduced my power output by 1kW on a 6.7kW system!! Very disappointing.

Hi John, due to the way microinverters work, you will get more output from your solar array every day. The IQ7X Microinverters are a perfect choice for your REC 420-watt panels. Enphase recommends this combination. The recently released REC Alpha Pure-RX solar panels have a higher power rating, and therefore we recommend IQ8X Microinverters.

@@enphase_anz Thanks for your reply. The REC 420AA Pure-R have a max output of 420Watts. The IQ7X have a peak power output of 320VA. The IQ8 have a peak power output of 384VA, which I was initially quoted, allow more output. Unfortunately, just prior to installation, the installation company discovered that you do not supply to IQ8 to Australia to match the REC higher wattage panels. If I had known beforehand, I would have changed my solar panels to match.
