[RE-wrenches] enphase AC carrier length

[Jason Szumlanski]

Obviously satellite Internet is an option, but not exactly cost
effective for just PV monitoring. I've been begging Enphase to upgrade
the Envoy interface to at least allow per-module performance tracking in
text, if not a full graphical interface. We have a couple customer
locations where cable/DSL Internet is not available, and our customers
are quite upset that they cannot access per module data. As an
installer, so am I. It's nice to see inverter status, but I'd like to
see the power generated also on the local interface.

Hi Jay,

I recently asked Enphase about a system we will be installing in a small
cabin of a campground. It turns out that there is no internet access in
this
cabin, but internet is available somewhere on the grounds of the
campground.
--------
There are a variety of options you can use to connect the Envoy to the
internet. The Envoy basically needs a device which dynamically assigns
an
DHCP address (normally a router). The devices you could use in your
situation are: A wirless bridge, Powerline ethernet bridges, a
cradlepoint
router with a wireless service stick (sold by cell phone carriers). In
detached buildings a wireless bridge is normally the best option. The
one
we've seen most sites have success with is the Linksys WET610n. Since it
is
not our product we do not provide support for it, but Linksys is
normally
very easy to set up.
--------

Of course the site is many hours away from our office, so I will need to
plan on a couple of options to take with me, and expect to spend some
time
testing...

Regards,
Glenn Burt

HI All,

Is there a max length to the AC carrier signal for Enphase?

I thought I did hear about a length, and in checking the website could
find
no mention of it.

Anybody know?

thx,

jay
