6. Verify System Configuration
While still connected to Envoy-S with Installer Toolkit, check the Overview screen for the following:
a.
Confirm that the expected number of devices are discovered and communicating.
b.
Tap the
Grid Profile
row on the Overview screen to select and apply a grid profile to the
microinverters. On the Overview screen, check that the new profile is set on all the
microinverters. This may take up to 5 minutes.
c.
Set up metering for the Envoy-S Metered (model ENV-S-WM1-230 only):
Tap the
Meters
button and check that Production Metering is enabled
.
If you installed consumption metering CTs, tap the
>
to the right of
Consumption Meter
.
If the circuit that passes through the consumption CTs includes load with solar
production, leave the type set to
Net
.
If the circuit that passes through the consumption CTs includes load only, change
the type to
Total
(Gross).
Tap
Enable Consumption Meter
.
Return to the Overview screen and verify the meter reading(s).
WARNING!
If using consumption metering, be sure to set the meter type correctly. You
cannot change this setting once the meter is enabled.
NOTES:
Net metering considers the generation of the PV system and the household’s
consumption and calculates the net outcome.
Total or gross metering measures the entire output of your system separate from
your electricity consumption.
If you used Installer Toolkit to detect microinverters, the Power Production LED
lights solid green when
all expected microinverters are producing power. If you did not use Installer Toolkit, it lights solid green if
all communicating microinverters are producing power. It flashes green when microinverters are
upgrading. Check Installer Toolkit for production status details. If the Power Production LED
remains
solid amber, see
“Issue: Installer Toolkit Indicates that Scanning is Inhibited ” on page 35.
7. Connect to Enlighten
The Envoy-S requires a connection to the Internet for reporting to Enlighten. You can provide this
connection through an existing broadband router, other Wi-Fi access point at the installation site, or by
using the Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem.
WARNING!
Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not remove power from the Envoy-S if the LEDs
are flashing green. This indicates that a software upgrade is in progress.
Connect to a broadband router using one of these methods, described in the following sections:
Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
Method B: Enphase Mobile Connect (order CELLMODEM-02 separately)
Method C: Ethernet cable (not included, installer must provide). This method requires that you
use the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
Method D: Power Line Communication Bridges [order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04
(AU) separately]. This method requires that you use the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
The Envoy-S integrated Wi-Fi operates at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and supports several wireless security
protocols in addition to Wi-Fi WPS. These include WEP Open System, WEP Shared Key, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, WPA-EAP, and WPA2-EAP.
