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 on-site 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

 Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway

 Enphase Enlighten™ web-based monitoring and analysis software

This integrated system maximises energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies design,

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