Thanks for the detailed write up. I see your system has two (2) Encharge 10 Units. I don't really need two and feel that is overkill. I would like to get one Encharge 10 (A big Maybe add another later) and have it power my sub panel only and really only needs to power the 120VAC circuits. There is two 240VAC loads. The dryer and the water heater in the sub panel. The water heater would be an issue because if we did not turn it off during a power outage and the system switches to battery then it could possibly start powering an 4-5k watt load. If they make a smart 240VAC breaker that will trip during a grid power outage that would be nice. I could easily make that with a contactor and relay or fancy PLC setup.

But maybe I'm overthinking this and all that would not be needed anyway.
Here are some pics to help with what I'm thinking about doing. I would like to install this myself if Enphase allows... After going through there training program. I have signed up for it.

Here is what I have outside.

A pic inside my main breaker box they upgraded when they installed the solar. The top left breaker is the 80amp feeding the subpanel. The bottom right is the solar coming in.

A pic of my Envoy Combiner Box. There is room for more breakers but there little black cover blocks adding any breakers. I would guess there would be a new cover if you are going to add a breaker to feed to the Smart Switch (Enpower)
.
Here are some diagrams and pics I pulled from the internet and Enphase manuals.

With tax and shipping an Encharge 10 and a Smart Switch direct from Enphase would be $ 8659.44
Now if I can get some good quotes on what they charge to install or do myself. Like I said I started with a quote for just the Encharge 3 and was 5200 installed. I just got another quote for the Encharge 10 setup and it was $19000 +. I laughed at them. No Way does this cost $19K to get up and running. Maybe this week I can get some more. Still working with the company that installed the solar but they are slow to do anything.
