If I'm not mistaking, the CTs in the video, near the end, are installed to get the Utility's current contributions. If one needs the whole-house consumption, one would likely need to install the CTs right above the splice. That's 3 current branches, and the CTs would go to the only unmonitored branch.
You are very welcome. It is a bit confusing at first, but it starts to make sense after a while. Took about a dozen reads through the directions before it sunk in. Thanks for watching.
@@TechMotoring yea, watched your video at 3 times during the instruction manual read and looking back at the panel just to make sure not to do anything wrong. Had a wierd issue where the micro inverters showed an error for low voltage and high, but after calling enphase, it will clear after 24 hours and they conformed system is working as expected. Thanks again cause o always love watching something before I do it if I have never tried that exact thing.
My first time through I installed the CTs backwards. It threw the error that you can't clear. I had to wait 24 hours also. A similar issue to you maybe. I'm glad the video helped you out. Nothing beats video instructions.
my panels were producing well and my electric bill was very low but something happened the past two months where my electric bill shot all the way up to $300. In the midst to figure out why I was told to install a consumption meter. I do have enphase. So will this consumption meter be able to differentiate against the digital meter outside if the meter is malfunctioning? thanks
The consumption CTs are installed between your home breaker panel and the meter, so in theory you should be able to compare your electricity bill and your consumption in the Enphase app. It won't be 100% accurate. Probably around a 5% difference is what you should see. If you have a huge disparity after a month or so you may want to investigate further. Hope that helps.
@@TechMotoring Yes it has been super stressful. My bill without solar was much cheaper so something is very off. the solar company so far found out the combination panel is faulty and needs replacement but that shouldn’t be why the electrical bill was so high!? Hopefully the consumption meter will at least rule out burning excess kilowatts in my house. thanks
@@TechMotoring the solar company came out and replaced the malfunctioning enphase gateway/envoy. I am now noticing the digital meter is no longer spinning excess energy and its been pretty stable. I have no idea what happened but I assume bad wiring or malfunctioning causing it to drain energy. The solar company installed the enphase consumption meter but of course its giving faulty readings so they have to come back out. the solar company isn’t admitting the correlation between the RMA and the high energy bill but if it continues again i will be well aware.
That's good that you have some resolution to your issue. Hopefully they will get those CTs fixed for you and you can start seeing your data accurately. Thanks for the update.
My main panel is in the 2nd floor of the house while the solar cut off panel is outside the house. Do I have to run the blue wire from upstairs or is there any other work around?
The CTs have to go on the main wires coming into your house. Assuming you can't get to those wires anywhere before your panel, then they would have to go at your panel. Though it is not sounding like that will work for you. You can contact Enphase directly and see if they have any suggestions for you.
Can the CTs go on the pg&e power lines that come up from the street into the house. PG&E came to change the smart meter, saw the CTs and took them off the main power lines, don’t know what to do thanks 👍
Thanks for the nice video. I have similar combiner box Enphase IQ combiner 3-ES and in process of installing it. Does this has Wi-Fi connection.. capability to connect with my phone via router... Please educate me. Thanks and regards.
Yes. This does use Wi-Fi to communicate to the internet. You then use your phone or computer to check the Enlighten app to check its status. It sends data out about every 15 minutes, so it is not real time but it's fine for checking in on things. I also occasionally use the Enphase Toolkit app to log into it over Wi-Fi and see real time stats. Thanks for watching.
I have a problem with my CT readings after installing a backup generator, the consumption mirrors the solar production but at a lower rate even when consumption is steady?
That is really weird. I am not sure what would cause that after adding a generator. I would call Enphase and see if they have any suggestions for this. Maybe the CTs have to be moved now that there is another power source?
My installer is reporting that there are issues with the Enphase monitoring function and is recommending that I purchase a Sense Solar system. I'm not excited about spending $350 when two CT monitors from Enphase only cost $60. Have you had any issues with the monitoring?
Absolutely no problems since I have installed them. The integration in the Enphase app is awesome. Being able to see production and consumption side by side is very helpful. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great video , my system was set up in my main breaker by adding and wiring the Enphase Envoy System to its own 120V breaker. How do I proceed to attach the consumption monitors CTs to the large power cables coming into the main 220v breaker or do I so how connect the CTs to the 14 gauge wire that was ran to the 120v breaker for the system?
I appreciate the comment. You will want to connect the CTs to the larger wires that come in from the grid. This way the CTs will read all electricity flow in and out of your breaker box. Just make sure you are very careful around those wires as it can be dangerous.
For consumption monitoring to work correctly, you must meet the following installation requirements: • Attach the consumption CT installed on terminal IA (line 1) to the same line as power terminal A of the Envoy-S. Verify with a voltmeter. • Make sure that the arrow on the consumption CT faces toward the loads. • Wire the consumption CTs with the white wire installed on the upper row of wiring terminals and the blue wire installed on the lower row of wiring terminals. • Do not use the Envoy-S terminal block on the right side. NOTE: You must install the CT wired to terminal IA on the same line as the Envoy-S power terminal A. This is what I found in the instructions. Line 1 plugs into the IA terminal which has to be the same side of the electrical panel as the power terminal wires from the Envoy. Give that a shot and see. If you get weird results you can always switch the wires on the IA and IB terminals to verify.
First of all, hats off to your wonderful effort to produce this explainer. Am not sure if you had the following message while opening the installer app. When I tried to open the installer app, it says that I am a homeowner and I need to install the Enphase Enlighten app instead which I already have. It also said if i am an installer, either create a new account or request the company to provide access. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the compliment. When it comes to configuring the CTs, download the Installer Toolkit app (Gray Icon) and use that instead. They released an updated app (Orange Icon) that limits what you can do. As long as your Envoy and phone are on the same network you should be able to see it and configure it.
Are you going to add your own power wall to this enphase system and buy some 1q8+ micro inverters? And use the server rack batteries that are 5kwhrs with the micro inverters and just add 3 units to your system.
I am planning on doing a battery system soon. I do like the modular systems where you can add more batteries as you go. I haven't decided which company I want to go with, but I may decide later this year. Thanks for watching.
Question please: about the two CTs that are clamped to the two incoming power lines: does it matter which power line does each CT clamped to? I read something about Line 1 but quite understand about it. Thank you.
For consumption monitoring to work correctly, you must meet the following installation requirements: • Attach the consumption CT installed on terminal IA (line 1) to the same line as power terminal A of the Envoy-S.

@@TechMotoring The power lines coming to my house/electrical service panel comprises of three wires and one of them is the neutral wire with a stripe on the insulation. The other two are 120V hot wires with same black insulation where I attached the two CTs to (with the arrows points to the load not the grid). Question: how do I determine which one is Line 1?
Line 1 is determined by which side of the panel the power terminal A from the Envoy is going to. You will have to follow that wire from your Envoy to your panel and see what side it is on. That is Line 1.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have one question. The CT's measure the current going into your main panel from the grid but your power from the solar panels are going directly in the the main panel. Does the power from the solar panels still get measured somehow through the CTs even if they are after the CTs? Thanks
My Enphase unit that is attached to the outside of my house has a Production CT which measures the current production of solar. That came with the solar system itself. These Consumption CTs measure the flow of electricity in and out of the house. It logically calculates how much is being used based on all of the CTs. Give or take a few percent for accuracy. Great question. Thanks for watching.
Are these Heavy duty CT's? my installer said my system needs heavy duty and charged me more. When I searched on enphase these cost $52.00. Also, I feel my installer did something wrong, as I don't see any excess production going to grid. Consumption that shows on my enphase is way too higher than my Sense monitor.
I'm not sure what a heavy duty CT is. These are the ones that Enphase offers that matched my system. It almost sounds like they were installed backwards which can wildly skew the results you see.
@@TechMotoringThe technician has a Admin version of enphase app and he said if the reading is positive then the installation is correct, otherwise wrong. Since I am not the expert I let him do what he is supposed to do.
I am using the older version of the app. It's a gray icon, version 2.2.8. When you open it, tap on "connect to envoy." As long as you are on the same WiFi as your Envoy it should show up. If that doesn't work you can access a bunch of the settings through the enlighten manager web login.
@@TechMotoring thanks I will try the older app. I first need to connect to my wifi. I have the cellular module. The enlighten manager you are talking about. Is that the upgraded access that you have to pay monthly or the one Time fee?
You can find instructions on how to connect the Envoy to WIFI. It's a pretty easy task. Since my solar and Envoy were set up by a company I did not have to pay for the Manager (Most likely in my cost of the install), however I do have access to it. It looks like you can do the monthly or the one time fee. That would be your choice based on your needs. They give you the same access.
It works if you connect to wifi on device, click on gray app toolkit. Connect to a enphase, Locate your envoy IP TYPE IT IN And CONNECT Parts are 47.00 for both CT
Awesome most informative video. I will hook up my Consumption meter this weekend. Can you send a close up pic the envoy blue and withe connections please? It just helps me with my confidence. I bought two meter brand new off ebay for $20 each. ALSO, do I set my toolkit to "NET" ???
Thanks for the compliment. I'll see what I can do about getting a better picture of the wires on the envoy system. In the mean time take a look at one of the other comments where I answer Net vs Total. Thanks for watching.
Nice video and I have a question, I saw on ur app there was an error like I have also...There is an issue with your envoy meter...how do I fix this issue.
That error was caused when I installed the CTs backwards. I had the arrows pointing the wrong way. That's why I make a point to highlight that in the video. It's not hard to make the mistake. Also, that error will stay for 24 hours to make sure there are not any other problems. There is no way to reset that message as far as I know. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for creating this great video, very helpful and easy to understand. Qq- do I’ve to put the consumption CTs in the main electrical panel or can I put them into the solar cut off panel (wires run from cut of panel to the main panel and hook up to the incoming wires from the grid, where you have put the CTs) next to the enphase combiner box. This would save me a ton of time by not having to run CT wires to main panel. Thanks!
You have to download the Installer Toolkit with the gray icon. The newer one (orange icon) requires a login that most homeowners do not have access to.
There is no login. When you open it up click on Connect To An Envoy. Make sure you are on the same WiFi network as your Envoy and it should pop up in the list.
It's not bad as long as you have easy access to everything and aren't afraid of live power. Mine was pretty easy considering where everything was located. I would recommend reading the instructions a bunch of times until you are comfortable with the whole install.
I had to go back and read about it since I couldn't remember. With how mine are set up with my solar I have it on total. This is what I was reading in the instructions. "If the solar circuit is not passed through the consumption CTs, the Envoy-S consumption metering setting must be set to Total rather than Net."
I highly doubt it. I didn't have to change anything that was already there. I just added these two small pieces. I could be wrong, but thankfully I haven't needed any warranty service since install.
You can download the tool kit app. Just make sure to download the older version. I reference that in some of the other comments. Just make sure to take your time and read the instructions clearly and multiple times. Above all else just be careful. Electricity is no joke. Overall it wasn't all that difficult, but that all depends on how your system is set up. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Why the hell did they use pvc? These installers or the company they work for are idiots. Emt should be used for weatherproofing and for anything else Mother Nature gives to us. This job is not batched but it’s definitely not top-tier. Lazy work smh
