Enphase IQ8 microinverters carry 25 years, applied from Enlighten activation, so the thing to confirm is that activation happened. In the United States Enphase also pays labour: $200 per truck roll plus $25 per replaced microinverter, and a paid Labor Protection Program extension stretches labour cover to five or ten years from activation.

What has to stay true
These are not deadlines. They are things that have to be true for the full term to hold, mostly with no clock attached, and nothing tells you when one stops being true.
System activated in Enlighten at commissioning: the 25 year IQ8 term applies from activation
Terms by product line
Parts and labour are separate covers and they are rarely the same length. The models column is what the nameplate will say.
| Product line | Parts | Labour | Models |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ8 | 25 years | None | IQ8P-3P-DOM-AU, IQ8M-72-2-AU |
What it pays for labour
The part is covered. The truck roll usually is not, and that is the number that decides whether a claim is worth filing.
The only brand in this catalogue that pays a stated rate per truck roll. $200 per visit plus $25 per microinverter replaced, in the United States. A truck roll costs more than $200, so log what each claim actually costs you.

Enphase warranty questions
How long is the Enphase microinverter warranty?
IQ8 microinverters carry 25 years, applied from activation in Enlighten. The Australian terms were checked July 2026 and the US labor program August 2026.
Does Enphase pay for labour on a warranty claim?
In the United States, yes. Enphase reimburses $200 per truck roll plus $25 per replaced microinverter. That is unusual: most brands in this catalogue pay nothing toward labour.
Is the Enphase Labor Protection Program worth buying?
It extends labour cover to five or ten years from activation. Whether it pays depends on your real truck roll cost against the reimbursement, which is a number worth calculating rather than guessing.
What has to be true for an Enphase warranty to apply?
The system has to have been activated in Enlighten at commissioning. The 25 year term runs from activation, not from install.
