Encharge Storage System
The Enphase Encharge 3 and Encharge 10 storage system units are reliable, smart, simple, and safe. They provide
the lowest lifetime energy costs with
backup for both new and retrofit solar
customers. As an installer, you can
quickly design the right system size to
meet the needs of the homeowner.
Each Encharge consists of a mounting
bracket, battery unit with disconnecting
means, and cosmetic cover.

IQ Combiner or IQ Envoy standalone For IQ-Series Microinverters
An Enphase solar system with IQ series micros needs an IQ Combiner with an IQ Envoy
or a discrete IQ Envoy. An IQ Combiner consolidates interconnection equipment for the
system and houses the following:
• Multiple PV branch circuits to ensure a streamlined installation and interconnection
• IQ Envoy – This collects production and performance data from the storage system
and from the IQ series microinverters. It then transmits the data to Enlighten through
ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular.
A standalone IQ Envoy can also be used if needed.
