Install the Enphase 

Encharge Storage System

To install the Enphase

 

Encharge 3

™ or 

Encharge 10

™ and the Enphase Wall-Mount Bracket, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide. Safety 

warnings are listed on the back of this guide. These instructions are not meant to be a complete explanation of how to design and install an energy storage 

system. All installations must comply with national and local electrical codes and standards. 

Only qualified electricians shall install, troubleshoot, or replace 

the Encharge 3 or Encharge 10.
The Enphase Storage System includes the Enphase Encharge Battery(ies) with integrated Enphase Microinverters™.  The Enphase IQ Envoy™ gateway 

measures PV production and home energy consumption. The Enphase Storage System senses when it is optimal to charge or discharge the battery so that 

energy is stored when it is abundant and used when scarce. Encharge storage systems are capable of providing backup power when Enphase Enpower

 is 

installed at the site.

Five unique installation scenari-

os are shown:

Whole home backup with Enpower 

as service entrance and PV combiner 

connected to Enpower. 

This is the 

preferred configuration for back up 

of the entire main load panel. This 

configuration supports up to an 80A 

breaker for the PV circuit and an 80A 

breaker for battery storage.

Whole home backup with Enpower 

as service entrance and PV combiner 

connected to main load panel. 

This is 

the preferred configuration when you 

back up the entire main load panel, and 

the size of the PV combiner circuit is 

more than 80A. In this configuration, the 

PV combiner circuit connection space 

in Enpower is left vacant. When existing 

PV combiner circuits are connected to 

the main load panel, and you want to add 

battery storage to the system, you can 

keep the PV combiner connected to the 

main load panel and connect only the 

battery storage system to Enpower.

Partial home backup with main load 

panel as service entrance and PV 

combiner connected to Enpower. 

When PV circuits breaker size is 

less than 80A, this is the preferred 

configuration for partial home backup 

with sub-panel.
