IQ micro-inverters
One IQ micro-inverter per panel converts the power as close as possible to the module. If one panel is shaded, the others keep producing at full output, without dragging the whole array down.
Enphase replaces the central inverter with an IQ micro-inverter behind each panel: each module produces independently, ideal on complex or shaded roofs. wendows installs this equipment: advice, fitting and after-sales service by our own teams, with management of subsidies and reduced VAT when the home is eligible.
Enphase builds its ecosystem around the micro-inverter, monitoring and storage. Here are the configurations we fit most often in Belgium — sized case by case.
One IQ micro-inverter per panel converts the power as close as possible to the module. If one panel is shaded, the others keep producing at full output, without dragging the whole array down.
Several roof slopes, different orientations, partial shading: this is the ideal terrain for micro-inverters, which manage each panel independently.
The app tracks production panel by panel and immediately flags a faulty module. Precise diagnosis, where a central inverter gives only an overall view.
The Enphase ecosystem can integrate storage to use the surplus in the evening. The coupling and capacity are confirmed when sizing.
Beyond power, it's the panel-by-panel management that makes the difference. The benchmarks specific to Enphase equipment, fitted by our teams.
Rather than a central inverter, Enphase places a micro-inverter behind each panel. Each module converts its power independently, which changes the logic of the installation.
IQ micro-inverters deliver a high efficiency, in the region of 97 % depending on the model. On a shaded roof, the overall production gain can exceed that of a central inverter.
Extended manufacturer's warranty on IQ micro-inverters, often longer than that of a central inverter. wendows handles the liaison for any warranty work.
The Enphase app tracks each module: you immediately see which panel is under-producing. Fine-grained diagnosis, useful for monitoring and after-sales service.
Enphase is the world leader in micro-inverters, with R&D dedicated to this architecture. A specialist player, a guarantee of technological maturity in this niche.
Micro-inverters shine on roofs with several slopes, mixed orientations or partial shading. On a simple, unobstructed roof, a central inverter remains relevant.

Buying good micro-inverters isn't enough: their value depends on the roof and the fitting, module by module. Our installers fit them according to the manufacturer's rules, and we handle the warranty and after-sales service directly.
Enphase isn't our only string. Depending on your roof, a central inverter may be enough — and cost less. Compare, then we decide together when sizing.
An overview of the solar equipment we install in Belgium: micro-inverters, inverters, panels and kits, by use and by budget.

All about the inverter → to combineA micro-inverter is only useful when well matched to the panels. Check the sizing of your solar array before choosing.
See the solar panels →When you install panels, you choose two things: equipment and an installer. Enphase answers the first with a different architecture: instead of a single central inverter, an IQ micro-inverter equips each panel. Each module then produces independently of the others.
The benefit appears on complex roofs. Several slopes, different orientations, a tree that shades part of the array for an hour a day: with a central inverter, the weakest panel can drag the others down. With micro-inverters, each module gives its best, and monitoring is done panel by panel.
"On a shaded roof or one with several orientations, the micro-inverter really comes into its own: each panel produces for itself, without penalising its neighbours.
That's where our role as installer counts. We first assess whether your roof really justifies micro-inverters — on a simple, unobstructed roof, a central inverter may be enough and cost less — then fit them according to the manufacturer's requirements and remain your single point of contact for the warranty, commissioning and after-sales service.
One micro-inverter per panel. Each module produces independently and is tracked individually via the Enphase app: fine-grained diagnosis and optimised production, panel by panel.
On the budget side, micro-inverters are priced mainly by the number of panels, since you need one per module. To get a feel for your project, start from our panel pricing page, then ask for a costed quote: it's the only way to get a fair price, sized to your roof.
The price depends mainly on the number of panels (one micro-inverter per module) and your roof — not just the brand. Here are starting ranges for Enphase fitted by our teams, subsidies deductible afterwards.

It's a small inverter placed behind each panel, instead of a single central inverter. Each module converts its power independently, which limits the impact of a shaded panel on the rest. Enphase is the world leader in this architecture.
No. Micro-inverters shine on roofs with several slopes, mixed orientations or partial shading. On a simple, unobstructed, well-oriented roof, a central inverter often remains relevant and more economical. We assess your case when sizing.
Via the Enphase app, which shows production panel by panel. You immediately see which module is under-producing, which makes diagnosis and after-sales service easier. It's finer than a central inverter, which only gives an overall view of the installation.
Since you need one per panel, the equipment cost rises with the number of modules. In return, you gain in production on shaded roofs and in monitoring detail. The trade-off depends on your roof: we cost it precisely during the study.
The manufacturer's warranty on IQ micro-inverters is often extended, reaching up to 15 years depending on the range — generally longer than that of a central inverter. wendows handles the liaison and the intervention. The exact terms are set out on your quote.
Allow from around €110 per micro-inverter fitted, multiplied by the number of panels in your installation. The total cost therefore depends on the size of the solar array. Reduced VAT of 6 % on the eligible photovoltaic installation, subsidies deducted afterwards.
