Envoy Installation and Operation

The Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway

The Envoy is an integral component of the Enphase Energy Microinverter system. It operates

between the Enphase Microinverters and the Enphase Enlighten™ web-based monitoring and

analysis software. The Envoy functions as a gateway and monitors the microinverters that are

connected to the PV modules. The Envoy collects energy and performance data from the

microinverters over in-home AC power lines. It then forwards that data to Enlighten, via the Internet,

for statistical reporting.

The three key elements of an Enphase system are:

• the Enphase Microinverter

• the Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway

• the Enphase Enlighten™ web-based monitoring and analysis software

This integrated system maximizes energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies

design, installation and management. The following diagram shows the Envoy in the system.
