Envoy S Metered installation

[@JosePerez-sv6pw]

Very informative. I enjoyed how your walked through the process calm and cool. thank you for the video.

[@Timochen]

Good video. Just to get an understanding prior to getting a solar system installed, I was wondering how this is installed on 3 phase. Are groups of panels allocated to each of the phases or is it collective and then split into each of the phases? Can each phase be monitored? Or do I just see a 'total' in the app

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

Hi Timothy, 3 phase installations typically have a third of the solar panels on each phase. For example, if there are 20 solar panels, there would be 7 on two of the phases and 6 on the other. A 3-phase Enphase trunk cable is used to achieve this. In saying this, it does depend on the roof and how the installer designs it. Each phase has a CT, and you will see the sum of the energy generated across the 3 phases. Below is a link to a video which shows the operation of the App. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qmnIZupbVmmc0

From the engage cable, the green goes to the earth busbar and what about the neutral line? Thanks

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

The neutral line is connected to the blue conductor in the engage cable and the active is connected to the brown conductor.

[@robertguywilson7763]

Ok brilliant, and then the neural lines goes to the neutral bus bar on the switch board? Just drawing up a final wiring diagram for my electricians. Many thanks

How about with the battery, does it have a CT?

[@huibu8987]

how does it meassure the production of individual pv-panels / output of single inverters? in this scheam production seems to be only meassured in cumulation . sry for my english, im not a native speaker. :)

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

The Envoy collects individual panel data via a power line carrier (PLC) connection to the microinverters.

[@huibu8987]

@@ACSolarWarehouse thx for the fast reply! ...i wasnt expecting any sort of wireless connection as envoys can link to such a big amount of microinverters.

[@tonypower5625]

Although USA residential home is only one phase...we have a split phase...hence...two hot lines....each one at 120 volts...hence do we need two envoys ??? Thanks.

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

No, just one Envoy required.

[@channabasava4234]

How many modules to connect? Instead of 3 ,we can connect how much

[@kiwiscanwifi]

Should there be any problems if the envoys is behind a rcd. The same phase as inverter breaker which are not behind a rcd

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

Hi, an RCD in the circuit does not negatively impact the Envoys ability to communicate with the microinverters.

[@chrismm662]

Is this actually the Envoy-S ? the one ive been sent doesnt have any current transformers ?

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

In Australia, the Envoy-S Metered is supplied with 2 x 100A CTs. Not sure about other jurisdictions.

[@mrlobbyist2061]

so how does it monitor each panel if there's only CT for all panels?

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

The Envoy collects individual panel data via a power line carrier (PLC) connection to the microinverters. This data is collected every few minutes from each micro. The CTs provide total instantaneous production and consumption data which is used for other purposes - like export power limiting.

[@wesleyblake8552]

Can any battery be used with the Envoy-s-Metered ? or it must be only Enphase ?

[@ACSolarWarehouse]

Technically, any AC coupled battery can be used with an Enphase system. The advantage of using Enphase AC batteries is that the battery operating data can be seen on the Enlighten monitoring platform. An AC battery from another manufacturer will have it's own (separate) monitoring system.

how to restart mine got disconnected from internet or router ? thanks
