microinverters it should discover.
The Microinverter Communications LED
flashes green for 15 minutes while scanning. At the end of
the scan, it lights solid green if at least one microinverter was discovered or solid red if no
microinverters were discovered (or if any discovered microinverter stops communicating).
With All Methods
If the Microinverter Communications LED
remains sol

6. Verify Configuration and Enable the Meters
While still connected to IQ Gateway with Installer Toolkit, check the
System 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 IQ Gateway-M (model ENV-S-WM-230 or ENV-S-AM1-230-60):
• 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 red, see
“Issue: Installer Toolkit Indicates that Scanning is Inhibited ” on page 35.
8. Connect to Enlighten
The IQ Gateway 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 IQ Gateway 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
