The short answer
Check breakers, voltage and connectors, reconnect DC and watch the LED, then swap DC with the next module.
Plain explanation
From the Enphase manual for the IQ8 microinverter: Qualified: AC breakers closed. Utility V in range. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.
Steps from the source
