Enphase Energy, Inc. announced that its IQ8 Microinverters have been selected for gas station solar projects around the world, helping businesses deploy clean, reliable energy in some of the most safety-critical commercial environments. Enphase microinverters are uniquely suited to gas station installations due to their AC-based system architecture, which eliminates the risk of dangerous high-voltage DC wiring and potential arc-fault fires. Built-in Rapid Shutdown capabilities ensure automatic system shutdown in emergencies, while a NEMA 6 rating allows for reliable performance in harsh weather conditions.
These features, combined with advanced cybersecurity protections, make IQ8 Microinverters a trusted choice for powering fuel retail sites safely and efficiently. Several gas stations installations have been completed in the United States, including one from solar installer DynamicSLR, which installed a 49 kW solar system at the Tri Gaz 5 gas station in Crandall, Texas. The project is expected to offset 17% of the site's electricity demand and generate an estimated lifetime savings of more than $150,000.
dozens of gas stations across Puerto Rico have Enphase products deployed through independent installers, including Green Energy & Fuels, Edison Energy, Pura Energia, and Solar Roots, further demonstrating the reliability and scalability of Enphase microinverters in demanding commercial environments. In Southeast Asia, Enphase microinverters is powering hundreds of gas stations. Super Central Gas has installed Enphase systems across 105 Shell stations, while multiple installers - Super Central Gas, TNS Network Solution, and MRO Engineering - have equipped PTT franchise sites.
PTT stations typically range from 30 kW to over 100 kW, with at least 37 locations confirmed that feature Enphase systems. Most of Enphase's IQ8 Microinverters are produced at U.S. manufacturing facilities, which can help commercial projects in the United States qualify for valuable domestic content bonus tax credits. Enphase also recently announced that pre-orders are open for its IQ9N-3P Commercial Microinverters in the United States, with shipments expected to begin in December 2025. The IQ9N-3P is Enphase's first microinverter powered by advanced gas nitride (GaN) technology and designed specifically for three-phase 480Y/277 Vwye) grid configurations - without the need for external transformers.
These are just some of the latest examples of gas station projects installed globally, with many more built or in progress.
