Planning an Ensemble Technology System – North America

Partial Home (Subpanel) Backup – Enpower Smart Switch and a Backup Subpanel Installed on the Load Side

of the Main Load Panel

The Enpower smart switch can also be installed on the load side of the exiting main load panel or service equipment.

This configuration can be used when the Ensemble technology system is configured to provide backup to a number

of pre-selected load circuits. This configuration is recommended when Encharge storage systems with smaller energy

and power capacity and some basic load backup is desired by the customer, or when existing constraints prevent

main panel backup or other installation methods. Figure 4 below shows an example of a partial home (subpanel)

backup configuration for an IQ-Series microinverters based system while Figure 5 shows the same for M-Series

microinverter based system.
