    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    FWIW, I am not the original installer of my system. I wasn’t even an installer!. But after becoming certified through their online university program, I gain full access to all equipment. I can get replacement parts sent to me directly instead of those being sent to the CO that installed my...

    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    I have seen this same behavior with my system as well. Does not happen often but when it does, there nothing in event logs to indicate there is an issue. The high-RES data shows everything normal. no current drops, no frequency shifts, nothing. On the next reporting cycle, the values return to...

    New Enphase System from Saints And LSU Country

    Signal strengths to batteries improved and remains strong. No more Zigbee comms failures! As for the system, I wish I would have purchased more panels but at the time that was not possible. During this past summer, the production was a bit lower than consumption due to the AC being on all the...

    What I'm learning about DIY Enphase and Hoymiles Microinverters

    Have you submitted a system design for review? This was required at least when I went through the process.

    What I'm learning about DIY Enphase and Hoymiles Microinverters

    With the recent heat wave here in the south, my panel temps have been over 145°F!. Production has taken a hit for sure.

    You are not alone.. My "Fuel Cost" went up starting this month as well.. Fuel cost used to be around $12-$15. This month it was $40!!. My energy Cost was just $23.

    Enphase IQ7 Grid Profile when adding inverter/charger + storage

    The grid profile is changed in the envoy(Gateway) then it propagates to: inverters, controller, batteries. With all the new access restrictions Enphase has added lately ,I don't think( will need to check) if that option is available without using ITK(Installer Toolkit).

    Enphase Owners: Your Modem might be going Kaput

    Old thread but interested to know if and when 5G will be implemented. I know currently Enphase has 4GLTE cell comms kits from both ATT and T-Mobile.

    Had my highest daily output so far a few days ago…. I want to add another battery but think I will wait out till the year is up.

    New Enphase System from Saints And LSU Country

    Took a page out @svetz playbook and moved the zigbee dongle out of the Combiner box and closer to the batteries in an attempt to increase the signal strength between the batteries and the envoy in the Combiner Box. Here is where a I mounted the weatherproof box with zigbee inside. Here is...

    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    So I opened up my comms kit enclosure to extend the radios outside like you did and look what I found… I called Tech support to see why my comms kit only has one radio and not the two listed in the documention and I was told by two different techs(I called a second time because wanted a second...

    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    like your idea of moving the Zigbees. But did yours come like, two separate dongles? This is what I have.... I wonder if there are separate units inside. There are two cables coming out with one USB plug at the end.

    This will be implemented on future hardware release. Unfortunately for us, this will not be backwards compatible. :cautious:

    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    No worries!, I have a ticket open for that issue. ITK is supposed “automatically” select the correct software to update to. And in my case, it’s prompting me to update to the wrong version.

    An Enphase Ensemble Installation

    I’m on 7.0.68 when I connect to Envoy, ITK prompts me to update to 7.0.69 but according to settings page, 7.0.69 is for systems with M series micro inverters.

    Isn't software 7.x already out? unless they are referring to a global roll out.

    When do Enphase Microinverters get Energized?

    Testing as well as provisioning can only be done with the Enphase ITK. As others have mentioned, you might be able to use other methods but you risk "breaking" something.
