    Thanks! We have a new system, and the information you presented helped a great deal.👍

    I've got the exact system you're talking about works great other than you got to reboot it quite often

    Is it possible to see near real-time numbers through the app. I am asking because I want to be able to toggle EV car charging to only use a much as there is solar capacity.

    I just log into my Enphase app. My app does not look like that, it does not have what my export is? What do I need to do to show what I'm exporting?

    Neat stuff, but I wish you would've explained how the system knows what each panel is doing, what parts are required for all of this to work, and if a DIY'er can do the same! If I go buy 10 of these micro-inverters and suitable panels, what do I have to do to see this level of info and how does it piece together for me to see this level of detail? Great advertising to sell a product, but realistically most of us are not your local customer but are obviously interested in the product since we're here...

      Hi,
      This is Rajmohan from South India.
      I recently installed a 9 kW system by myself.
      I had used 20 nos. of 445 watt REC panels & IQ7a micro inverters.
      I have a 20 years warranty on panels & a 10 years for the micros & 5 years for envoy device.

      To be honest,
      It took me 2 weeks to install everything (note I am A DIY doing it the first time), including laying out the structures for panels, laying the micros, wiring, and configuring envoy and setting up.
      Trust me it's very very easy, but just need to be careful with the wiring part (on micros, envoy (with phase coupler that I use it as a 3 phase system), the consumption & production transformers (the direction & placements of the transformers very important) etc., etc.,

      1. plan your solar requirent (as per space availability, power requirement etc.,)
      2. Buy the panel & 1 micro inverter for each panel
      3. Layout the structure, install the micro inverter
      4. The micro inverter has a DC adaptor, wherein you can plug in the +ve & - ve from the panel. This is the input.
      5. While for the output, there is a specially designed Q-cable offered by enphase,. This Q-cable has an adaptor (spaced at roughly 1.5 meters apart). This adaptor can be plugged into the output of the microinverter, from this you get the AC output directly. This Q-cable allows all the microinverter outputs to be connected in parallel.
      6. This output (which can be 1 phase or 3 phase depending on your requirement) can be terminated at a junction box on the roof. Can also use a suitable breaker.

      7. Now take this wiring all the way down to your Electric distribution, ( 2 wires for 1 phase / 4 wires for a 3 phase)
      8. This connection needs to be taken to the ENVOY device, which is the main part of this system for monitoring via the enlighten app.
      Also configure your system is via the envoy device.
      9. Connect your wiring to the envoy device as per the diagram ( I have both the line diagram, for 1 phase as well as 3 phase)

      10. Optionally one can place the current measuring transformers (in case of zero export). There is a clear document available for installing this, on enphase website. This needs to be done carefully.
      11. You need to configure the system via the envoy device. The envoy device is the means for communicating all your data from the panel/micro inverters to emphase or enlighten manager / application.

    My energy produced only updates every 6 hours. Can I increase the frequency of the updates?

      My system is the same but I believe in addition to all the equipment installed you also need to have a "consumption monitoring system" I wish my solar company would've given me the option.

      connect to your wifi and it will report every 15 minutes
