The Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway; Other Elements In The Enphase System - Enphase Energy Envoy Manuel D'installation

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
This integrated system maximizes energy harvest, increases system reliability, and
simplifies design, installation and management. The following diagram shows the
Envoy in the system.

Other Elements in the Enphase System

The Enphase Microinverter is a fully integrated device that converts the DC output of
the PV module into electric utility compliant AC power. In addition to performing the DC to
AC conversion, it maximizes the PV modules' energy production by using a sophisticated
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. This integrated system maximizes
energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies design, installation and
management.
